Quoad potui summa ratione proprietates locorum ab natura rerum dispositas animadvertere, exposui, et, quemadmodum ad solis cursum et inclinationes caeli oporteat ad gentium figuras constituere aedificiorum qualitates, dixi; itaque nunc singulorum generum in aedificiis conmensus symmetriarum et universos et separatos breviter explicabo.
As far as I could observe systematically regional characteristics ordained by Nature, I have expounded them, and have said how, in reference to the suns course and the differences of climate, we ought to determine the style of our house so as to suit the needs of the body. It remains now to explain in brief, both generally and particularly, the symmetrical adjustment of the several methods of building.
