AUGUSTUS PUGIN

Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was an English architect. He was born in 1812 in London and died in 1852. Educated at Christ's Hospital and by his father, in his early days he was employed on stage scenery and other ventures before turning to architecture. Having embraced Roman Catholicism he designed many churches. When the new houses of parliament were projected, he was called upon by Barry to provide the whole of the detail drawings. His alleged responsibility for the general design was the subject of sharp controversy. An eccentric man, Augustus Pugin insisted that Gothic was the only Christian style of building, and published his critical 'Contrasts; or a Parallel between the Architecture of the 15th and 19th Centuries' in 1836 and 'The True Principles of Christian Architecture' in 1841. In 1851 his eccentricity overtook him and he was declared insane through overwork.
