Die moderne Bau-Kunst is a German architectural handbook by Johann Vogel, published in 1795 by the Sommersche Buchhandlung, aimed at builders and craftsmen wanting models of roofs, steeples and palaces. Its plates show building elevations beside ground plans of palaces, country houses and a stable, with one axonometric cutaway of a single-storey house. A designer could draw on the crisp, measured line work of the plans and the symmetrical elevations with pedimented centres, hipped roofs and dormers.
