The Architecture Manual is a multi-volume work on architecture and building science. It comprises - including the sometimes substantial revisions and new editions of individual volumes and a series of supplements under the title “Advances in the field of architecture. Supplementary booklets for the Architecture Manual ”- a total of 143 individual titles. The first volume appeared as a partial delivery in 1880, the last in 1943. During this period, over a hundred German, Swiss and Austrian architects and engineers were involved as authors on the Architecture Manual. Its founding editors were the three architects Josef Durm (1837–1919), Hermann Ende (1829–1907) and Heinrich Wagner (1834–1897) and the engineer Eduard Schmitt (1842–1913).

The large scope of the work and its encyclopedic character provide a comprehensive insight into the architecture of historicism and late historicism as well as into the history of construction and historical construction technology . It includes u. a. Form theories, architectural-historical representations and design manuals. For the history of the development of modern building typologies of residential and commercial buildings, department stores, museums and libraries, banks, infrastructure buildings etc., the Architecture Manual is one of the most important sources, not least because of its extensive illustration. Later architecture manuals as the Bauentwurfslehre of Ernst Neufert show the altered compared to the Handbook of Architecture understanding of modernity by mainly with functions and structures to deal with. Contemporary handbooks such as Architecture Construct by Andrea Deplazes also deal with the cultural backgrounds of construction.
