Architectvra recreationis, das ist, Von allerhand nutzlich, vnd erfrewlichen Civilischen gebäwen : in vier vnterschidliche Hauptstuck eingetheilt ...
Architectvra recreationis is a 1640 German architectural treatise printed in Augsburg by Johann Schultes, written by Joseph Furttenbach with engravings by Matthäus Rembold and Johan Jacob Campanus, for builders and princely patrons designing civic and recreational buildings. Its pictures are engraved ground plans of palaces and courtyard complexes drawn with precise line work, rooms and galleries labelled with numerals and keys, and a designer might take from them the clarity of symmetrical courtyard layouts and the way regular grids organise large residences.
