Architectura civilis is a 1745 German treatise on building, compiled by Georg Peter Schillinger and published by the Homännische Officin in Nuremberg for carpenters and builders. Its plates show roof trusses and right-angled buildings in German, French and Italian styles, with plans, elevations and sections. A designer could draw on the crisp hatched timber framing and the diagrammatic geometry of the roof structures.
