Architectura
Architectura is a 1825 architecture treatise printed at Udine by the Mattiuzzi brothers, combining Vitruvius Pollio's text with notes by Simone Stratico and Giovanni Poleni for students and builders. Its plates are geometric diagrams of perspective and projection, including a cube with lettered vertices, circles with construction lines, and a mechanical sketch of a rope and floating blocks. A designer could take from them the clean line-only method of showing three-dimensional form on a flat page.
