Schweizerische Bauzeitung is a Swiss engineering and architecture periodical published in Zürich in 1883 by H. Zürcher, issued by the Swiss engineers' and architects' association and the ETH Zürich alumni society for a professional readership. Its pages mix trade advertisements for machinery and building firms with technical cross-section drawings of turbines and hydraulic apparatus. A designer could take from them the restrained, functional grammar of nineteenth-century engineering diagrams: fine black linework, labelled dimensions, and clean sectional views that read well as schematic graphics.
