Abstract
The middle and high residences of the Chosun Dynasty in North Kyungbuk Area are based on $\square$-typed plans. It is supposed that their basic type is developed from more simple type. This study compares $\square$-type and more simple types, that is = and ㄷ and open-$\square$-type. Maybe, building process of $\square$-typed plan is similar to the spatial and constructional characteristics of incompleted $\square$-types, Their theoretical bases are described by the comparison of plan and space and structure and roof's construction.
