Guy Fawkes planned to assassinate King James and blow up the House of Lords on the 5th November 1605. He was arrested and found guilty in the ‘gunpowder plot ‘and was sentenced to be hung drawn and quartered. On the hanging day, Guy jumped when hanged to break his own neck, killing him but sparing him from being drawn and quartered.
In 2016 Alejandro Aravena, a Chilean Architect won the Pritzker prize. Most architecture concearns itself with SPACE, the useful stuff inside buildings.
