Furttenbach, Joseph · 1662 · [Balthasar Kühn] · 16 pictures

Feriae architectonicae is a 1662 German treatise on architecture, printed in Augsburg and written by Joseph Furttenbach for builders and patrons interested in the arts. Its pages mix dense typeset text with engraved plans of fortifications, theatre interiors, floor plans of buildings, and ship profiles, all drawn in precise line with careful lettering keyed to labels. A designer can take from them the clarity of early plan and elevation drawing, with lettered keys that organize information as diagrams.
