Triangular plan (Fire-shape, unstable)
त्रिकोणtrikoṇa

frm-triangle-planDefinition
The three-sided plan — 'the silhouetted shape of Fire', the smallest polygon that can enclose space, but 'no more energetically stable than a tripod or three-legged stool is physically steady'. Acute angles are 'too acute' to be stable; triangular rooms 'display the energy of Fire too intensely to promote long-term comfort'. [MODERN — Svoboda].
