Very pleased to see that one of my favourite architects is
getting an airing on BBC4 ‘Pugin: God’s own Architect’.
I’ve been interested in Pugin from the early 1970’s when he
was little known and overshadowed by other more well known Victorian
architects, happily he is now recognized as a major influence on British
Architecture.
Architect and designer he lead a frantic life, producing
plans for hundreds of churches and buildings including the Houses of Parliament
(with Barry) and drawing thousands of designs for interior decoration, married
3 times and having 8 children - he was dead by the age of 40 !
