- Authors
Andrews, Brian
- Abstract
The article focuses on the life and works of architect, designer, and theorist Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and his contributions to Australian buildings. It notes that 40% of Pugin's church and cathedral designs went to the Australian colonies. It mentions that Pugin believed that architecture is the result and the expression of society and its values. It adds that Pugin often viewed Gothic as Christian architecture due to its representation of faith and doctrine it possessed to arouse the faith and its associated moral values. Moreover, it states that the design and manufacture of vestments was as important as Pugin's design of churches.
