 | ~ Augustus Pugin ~ Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1 March 1812 – 14 September 1852) was an English architect, designer, and theorist of design, now best remembered for his work on churches and on the Houses of Parliament. He was the son of Catherine Welby and Augustus Charles Pugin, a French draughtsman who trained him to draw Gothic buildings for use as illustrations in his books. This was the key to his work as a leader of the Gothic revival movement in architecture. Between 1821 and 1838 Pugin and his father published a series of volumes of architectural drawings that were to remain both in print and the standard references for Gothic architecture for at least the next century. As an advocate of Gothic architecture, he believed it to be the true Christian form of architecture. He attacked the influence of "pagan" Classical architecture and set up medieval society as an ideal, in contrast to modern secular culture. Presented on one spectacular DVD-Rom we have a collection of rare, vintage books by Pugin or illustrated by him plus a collection of almost 500 hi-resolution images. Each book is a scan of the original pages so you will be reading each exactly as intended! screen shot of the disc menu:
