Rule Book

I believe the rules of architecture and design are things that should followed in order to design a great structure, but they are not absolutely necessary in all things designed. However, following these rules will help create a much more functioning and aesthetically pleasing structure, and we can see they were used in many interior and exterior designs.
St. Peter's Basilica

Strive for harmony and unity in all things. It is very symmetrical, and successfully comes together as one. 
Continue to layer groves + stacks. We the the layers and stack in the arches, and above the arches. There is a lot of vertical lines in this space, drawing your eyes upward. 
Place community needs before your own. Because this is a place of worship and it is a very large space, it allows the needs of multiple people to be met.
