‘ The plan is the respresentation of the horizontal section of a building, showing its distribution, the form and extent of its various parts This is the geometrical plan where the parts are represented in their natural properties. The modern architects consider other plans too : in the perspective plan objects are represented on a definite surface so as to form a certain position to affect the eye in the same manner as the objects themselves would ; while in the raised plan the elevation of a building is shown.’-- (Gwilt : *Encycl. of Arch.*, Glossary, p. 1240.)
