Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin 01.03.1812-14.09.1852
Having only a limited experience of the Neo-Gothic style,
Charles Barry turned to one of the style’s leading proponents for
assistance. Augustus Pugin had literally grown up with Gothic
style; his French-born draughtsman father training him to
draw Gothic buildings for the renowned reference books
he produced on the subject.
After converting to Catholicism, Pugin designed Churches
and Cathedrals in England, Ireland and Australia before
joining Barry on the work on the Palace of Westminster. The
intricate Clock Tower would be one of his last designs before
he descended into madness, being committed to an asylum
and dying on the 14th of September 1852 only 40 years old.
Though the popularity of the Gothic style had been growing
throughout the 19th Century, Barry and Pugin’s work on the
Palace of Westminster and Big Ben would popularize the
architectural style and ensure it reached into every corner
of Victorian life.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin 01.03.1812-14.09.1852
N’ayant qu’une expérience limitée du style néogo-
thique, Charles Barry demanda l’aide de l’un des
principaux représentants du style. Augustus Pugin
avait littéralement grandi avec le style gothique ;
son père dessinateur d’origine française le formant à des-
siner des bâtiments gothiques pour les célèbres livres qu’il
produisait sur le sujet.
Après sa conversion au catholicisme, Pugin créa des églises et
des cathédrales en Angleterre, en Irlande et en Australie avant
de rejoindre Barry pour travailler sur le Palais de Westmins-
ter. La Tour de l’Horloge élaborée fut l’une de ses dernières
créations avant qu’il ne devienne fou. Il fut placé dans un asile
et mourut le 14 septembre 1852, âgé de seulement 40 ans.
La popularité du style gothique avait cru pendant tout le
19ème siècle, mais le travail de Barry et Pugin sur le Palais de
Westminster et Big Ben allait populariser le style architectural
et assurer sa propagation dans toute la vie victorienne.
