Architectura et perspectiua des fortifications & artifices is a 1602 military architecture treatise by Jacques Perret, published in Frankfurt by the heirs of Theodor de Bry for engineers and builders of fortresses. Its pictures are engraved plans and bird's-eye views of star-shaped bastioned forts, with dense hatched walls, moats and tiny figures, offering a designer a clear model for angular geometric layouts and hatching patterns.
