Architectura vniversalis is a 1635 German treatise on military fortification, city building and waterworks, written by Joseph Furttenbach and published in Ulm by Johann Sebastian Medern for builders and military engineers. Its plates are engraved ground plans and elevations, including a fortress plan with a ringed bastion layout, a pair of ship and boat drawings with labelled sections, and a detailed elevation of a wooden hoist frame with pulleys and braces, which a designer could use as clean diagrams of plan and sectional drawing.
