Architectvra: Von Außtheilung, Symmetria vnd Proportion der Fünff Seulen, und aller darauß volgender Kunst Arbeit, von Fenstern, Caminen
Architectvra is a 1598 architectural pattern book by Wendel Dietterlin, printed in Germany for masons, carvers and craftsmen, and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates show elaborate full-scale designs for portals, fireplaces and window surrounds built from the five classical orders. A designer might take from them the dense layering of columns, broken pediments, scrolls and figure sculpture that marks German Mannerist ornament.
