Pugin: The God of Gothic

Augustus Pugin designed the Houses of Parliament and he also designed cathedrals, churches and grand country houses. He created furniture, lighting and wallpaper, and his mid 19th-century ideas about what ordinary houses should look like are hugely influential today. His volume of work was stupendous. Dying at the age of just 40, this Frenchman has had a great impact on the architecture of England.
