The next element of Ottopian House I comprises ichnographic games with Terragni's Danteum in that the original plan is repeatedly offst copied, scaled and rotated. Each consecutive copy is offset by 25 feet in the positive x direction and 5 feet in the positive y direction. At the same time each copy is rescaled by a factor of 1.05 in the x direction and by a factor of .95 in the y direction. Furthermore, each consecutive copy rotates by minus 5 degrees. The resultant plan is a composite web of many irregularly shaped rooms along with several hypostyls and staircases.
