This plan is specially meant for houses in towns, etc. (*cf.* vv. 1–12). It recommends the four typical arrangement of houses, namely, rooms being built covering the four sides with the courtyard in the middle ; rooms being on three sides and the fourth side in continuation of the courtyard being left free for light and air ; rooms being built on two sides only ; and rooms being built on one side only, apparently without any courtyard. This is an eight-roomed plan.
