Architectonisches Alphabet is a 1773 German architectural pattern book by Johann David Steingruber, printed in Schwabach, presenting thirty letter-shaped floor plans for princely residences, chapels and a monastery. The plates pair elevations with plans drawn as flat black-and-white engravings, showing symmetrical facades, courtyards, and curved or L-shaped layouts that a designer could use for geometric letterform studies and architectural diagrams.
