The Origin of Names, Words and Everything in Between. Patrick Foote

      If we return to the myth that the architects’ hands were cut off after the completion of the building, what’s interesting about this is there was a similar tale in Russia. Legend has it that Ivan the Terrible blinded the architects of Saint Basil’s Cathedral, so they wouldn’t create anything more beautiful either. While not about names, I just thought I’d mention it if any of you were considering a career in architecture. I’m sure the salary and pension are great, just maybe consider that the loss of body parts could be a real possibility.
