1. Base Plane: A horizontal plane lying on a floor

 2. Elevated Base Plane: A horizontal plane elevated above the ground.

 3. Depressed Base Plane: A horizontal plane depressed into the ground plane.
  4. Overhead Plane: A horizontal plane located overhead.

VERTICAL ELEMENTS DEFINING SPACE
1. Vertical Linear Elements: It defines the perpendicular edges of a volume of space.
2. Single Vertical Plane: It articulates the space on which it fronts.
3. L-Shaped Plane: It generates a field of space from its corner outward along a diagonal axis.
 
4. Parallel Planes: They defines volume of space between them toward both open end of the configuration.
5. U-Shaped Planes: It defines a volume of space that is oriented toward the open end of the configuration.
6. Four Planes Closure: They establish the boundaries of an introverted space and influence the field of space around the enclosure.

Natural Ventilation in Buildings (भवनों में प्राकृतिक वायु-संचालन )

प्राकृतिक वायु- संचालन ( Natural Ventilation ) प्राकृतिक वायु- संचालन अर्थात भवनों में ताज़ी हवा का संचालन करना जिससे उनमें रहने वालो को स्वच्छ वायु के साथ गर्म तापमान से आराम मिल सके।  अपर्याप्त वायु प्रवाह के कारण भवनों में अस्वस्थ वातावरण बन जाता है।  हम अपने चारो ओर इस प्रकार की इमारतों को देख सकते हैं। ऐसा ज़्यादातर अत्यदिक सघन और ऊँची इमारतों के निर्माण एवं भवनों में उपयुक्त गवाक्षीकरण (Fenestration) का किर्यान्वयन न होना हैं।  प्राकृतिक वायु-संचालन भवनों में स्वास्थ्यकारी आतंरिक वातावरण को बढ़ाता है।   प्राकृतिक वायु-संचालन हेतु दिशा-निर्देश (Directions for Natural Ventilation) अधिकतम वायु-प्रवाह को प्राप्त करने के लिए "भारत की राष्ट्रीय भवन निर्माण संहिता २००५, भाग ८, ५.४. ३ और ५. ७. १ (National Building Code 2005, Part 8, 5.4.3 and 5.7.1) का अनुपालन करना चाहिए। जिसके कुछ महत्त्वपूर्ण बिंदु इस प्रकार है: अधिक वायु प्रवाह के लिए ईमारत का प्रचलित वायु (Prevailing wind) की दिशा में लंबरूप  में अभिमुख होना (Perpendicular orientation) आवश्यक नहीं है।  भवन
