Having rules in design are very important because rules are what keep things in order. Imagine a building put together with no guidelines or rules; it could be total chaos. It creates an order within the system. When you go to more specific parts of the world the buildings have to be a certain look or shape or size. Some cities have ordinances where so buildings in the world would not be able to be put there. I liked the idea in the western rules; using stacks. It saves a lot of space. I think that there are rules and their use is to guide a design and please the viewer or question the viewer of the structure. They can tell stories of the past that can give us clues to how a specific civilization was. I personally can not think of any other rules to add to the list. My favorite rule is the inner world rule. I appreciate nature and natural things on earth.
This is an image of the Empire State Building in New York City, New York. We see the rule, layers and groves and stacks when possible, from the western world. This is the third tallest building in NYC. We can see if emphasizes surface because this picture is taken far away yet we can still see the detail in the design. The building also adds a lot of perspective to the city its self but standing out.
