At one time Wren was credited with the design of the King's
House at Newmarket. Charles II, who was over six feet tall,
complained about the low ceilings. Wren, who was not so
tall, replied that "They were high enough!", at which the king
crouched down until he was on a level with his Surveyor and
strutted about saying, "Ay, Ay, Sir Christopher, I think they
are high enough."
CHINA- a country where you will
unlikely find a fourth floor.
The Chinese superstition around the number four
derives from its pronunciation being very similar to
that for the word for "death". As well as omitting the
number from floor levels, a four in an address can
adversely affect the value of property.
The lack of a thirteenth floor in many buildings has
given rise to suspicions about actual uses and has
entered popular culture in the form of urban myths,
films, sci-fi literature and television programmes.
According to the Otis lift manufacturers, as many as
80% of lifts do not have a floor designated 13.

Arguably the two most important strands of
twentieth century architecture in Britain are
the Modern Movement and the entry of
women into the architectural profession.

The entry of women into the architectural


profession was led by the pioneer generation
of women architects in the early 20th century.
