There must likewise great respect be had to the difference of Climates, for the Excess of Heat and Cold, require different Situations and Structures; for the Houses in the Northern parts of the World, ought to be Vaulted, and have few Openings, and turn'd to the South; On the contrary in Hot Countries there must be great Openings and turn to the North; to the End that Art and Industry may remedy the Defects of the place. ART. III. _Of the Disposition of Fabricks_. [Sidenote: _Lib. 6. Chap. 6._] The Disposition or Distribution of Fabricks contributes much to their Convenience, when each thing is so plac'd, that it is in a Proper place for the Use for which the Fabrick is Design'd; and for this reason the Town-House and the Market-Place ought to be in the Middle of the City, unless it happen that there be a Port or a River; for the Market ought not to be far distant from those places where the Merchandize is. The Houses of Private Men, ought to be differently disposed, according to the divers Conditions of those that Dwell in them: For in the Houses of Great Men, the Apartments of the Lord, must not be at the Entry, where ought to be nothing but _Portico's_, _Courts_, _Peristyles_, _Halls_, and _Gardens_ to receive the great Number of those who have Business with them, and make their Court to them. The Houses of Merchants ought to have at the Entry their _Shops_ and _Magazines_, and all other places where Strangers are to come about their Business. [Sidenote: _Lib. 6. Chap. 9._] The Country Houses ought to have a different Order and Disposition from those of the City. For the Kitchen ought to be near the Ox-house, so that from their Cratches they may see the Chimney and the rising Sun; for this makes the Oxen more Beautiful, and makes their Hair lie better. The Baths ought likewise to be near the Kitchen, that the Water may be more conveniently heated. The Press ought not to be far from the Kitchen, for that will much facilitate the Service that is necessary for the Preparation of Olives. If the Press be made of Wooden Beams, it ought to have at least for 16 Foot Breadth, 40 Foot of Length, if there be but one; or 24, if there be 2. Not far from the Press, must the Cellar be plac'd, whose Windows must be turned to the North, because the heat spoils the Wine. On the contrary, the Place where the Oil is kept, ought to be turned to the South; to the End, the gentle heat of the Sun may keep the Oil from freezing. The Houses for Sheep and Goats ought to be so large, that each of them may at least have 4 Foot for his place. The Stables must likewise be Built near the House in a warm place, but not turned towards the Chimney; for Horses that often see the Fire, are generally ill Coated. The Barns and Granaries, as likewise the Mills, ought to be at a pretty distance from the House, because of the Danger of Fire.
