The present paper examines the planning process at the early stages of the rebuilding project for the Basilica of St. Peter, launched at the beginning of the 16^<th> c. in Rome. It has been suggested that the project was transformed from a longitudinal into a central plan under the order of Pope Paul III during the time of a political and economic crisis after the Sack of Rome. However, close observation of the floor plans for the Basilica shows that the architects took the initiative in doing the planning. It is probable that the Sack of Rome provided a strong incentive for the architects to depart from long-lasting basilican tradition and adopt the ideal form of the church building as illustrated in the Renaissance theory of architecture. Further observation shows that the architects never found a solution to the problem of how to reconcile wide differences among their designs in the other part of the building. It is conceivable that Michelangelo sought to preclude the possibility that his successors would extensively modify his design. This may well explain the reason that while retaining the form of a central plan, he reduced the size of the building and completed a significant portion of it within the short period of his own tenure.
