Who designed the principal buildings in new city of Brasilia?
Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho - "Oscar Niemeyers" born December 15, 1907, he is a Brazilian architect who is considered one of the most important names in international modern architecture. He was a pioneer in the exploration of the constructive possibilities of reinforced concrete. His buildings are often characterised by being spacious and exposed, mixing volumes and empty space to create unconventional patterns and often propped up by pilotis. Both lauded and criticised for being a "sculptor of monuments," his most famous design, the plan for the city of Brasilia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Oscar Niemeyer and his contribution to the construction of Brasília is portrayed and somewhat parodied in the 1964 French movie L'homme de Rio (The Man From Rio), starring Jean-Paul Belmondo. Since the 1960s, the National Congress has its seat in Brasilia. As most of the official buildings in the city, it was designed by Oscar Niemeyer following the style of modern Brazilian architecture. The semisphere to the left is the seat of the Senate, and the hemisphere to the right is the seat of the Chamber of the Deputies. Between them there are two towers of offices. The Congress also occupies other surrounding buildings, some of them interconnected by a tunnel. The building is located in the middle of the Monumental Axis, the city main street. In front of it there's a large lawn, where demonstrations take place. At the back of it, there are the Praça dos Três Poderes, where the Palácio do Planalto and the Palace of Justice lie.

What are the common types of housing in Pakistan?
The rapid increase in urbanization, coupled with the rising population, has added to the housing shortage in urban areas. About 25% of the people in large cities live in katchi abadis (shantytowns). The Public Works Department has built more than 8,000 units in Islāmābād, Lahore, Peshāwar, and Quetta at a cost of R 1,588 million. Under the 1986-90 program, the residents in the katchi abadis were to be given proprietary rights. In 1987, the National Housing Authority was created to coordinate the upgrading of the existing katchi abadis and prevent the growth of new ones. As of 1991, 171 abadis had been renovated at a cost of R 454 million, and 522 more were under development. In 1998, there were 19,211,738 housing units nationwide with an average of 6.8 occupants per unit. About 54.97% of all units had two to four rooms; 38.11% had one room. About 81% of all dwellings were owner occupied.

Why are the floors in a building called stories?
The best answer I've been able to find is an anecdotal one that the word comes from the Latin, "historia," meaning history. Roman buildings had decorations of carvings or murals on the exterior walls on each floor level they called historia, depicting myths or historical battles. Multilevel buildings were marked by levels of historia. The word was shortened to stories and, today, a building is so many stories tall. Or, this explanation is just someone's tall story. The rest is history, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
AnswerI have heard a different story. This is my account. Many Many years ago the churches uses stained glass for the windows some, still do. Each window pane told a piece of a biblical story. As the churches grew and built up to a second level (or second floor)they continued the story by using more stained glass. So if someone were to say "where is the priest?"One would respond by saying he in on the second story of the church and so on.How many stories does the tallest building in china have?
