A 1715 German architecture treatise by Leonhard Christoph Sturm, published in Augsburg by Jeremias Wolff, that explains Nicolai Goldmann's rules for country houses and farm buildings, aimed chiefly at the nobility. Its copperplate pictures are measured floor plans, elevations and garden layouts, each drawn in plain black line with lettered keys. A designer could borrow their clean symmetrical plans, rounded central halls and formal parterre patterns as structural diagrams for an orderly, classical layout.
