Schweizerische Bauzeitung
Schweizerische Bauzeitung is a Swiss engineering and architecture periodical issued in Zürich in 1883 by the Schweizerischer Ingenieur- und Architekten-Verein and the Gesellschaft Ehemaliger Studierender of the Eidgenössische Polytechnikum, aimed at engineers, builders and architects. Its plates are measured technical drawings: a tall lattice spire elevation with a stone base, a pair of bridge elevations and plans on a printed page, and a circular machine part with a radial pattern of ornamented blades and piping, all in crisp line work a designer can borrow for diagrammatic structure and mechanical motifs.
