Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 186 pages. True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture was first published in 1 841, when Pugin was 29 years old. Here he presents coherent arguments for the re vival of the Gothic style, the case for which he had made pictorally in his sens ational book Contrasts (1836). For Pugin, the Gothic Revival was 'not a style, b ut a principle' and this he laid down in his most influential architectural trea tise, True Principles, which introduced functionalist and rationalist as well as moral criteria into architectural discourse, much of it still resonant in the t wentieth-century Modern Movement. It is reprinted together with his Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture, first printed in 1843. Much of his though t here is on architectural education, and in shuffling off the straitjacket of n eoclassical architectural principles Pugin exercised a great influence in mid-Vi ctorian architecture and the applied arts, and in a wider design reform movement . These two seminal books, presented in one volume, are introduced by the archit ectural historian and Pugin authority Dr Roderick O'Donnell.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Facsimile Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Among the most influential figures of the Gothic Revival in nineteenth-century Britain, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) distinguished himself as an architect, author and interior designer. In the True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture, first published in 1841, he argues for the revival of the Gothic style and in An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England, first published in 1843, much thought is given to architectural education. Reflecting the influence of the author's conversion to Catholicism, the works discuss a range of architectural features, their functions and where they should be implemented. Pugin also outlines, with some amusement, the dangers of executing designs that do not follow his principles. This joint edition book is introduced by the architectural history and Pugin authority, Dr Roderick O'Donnell.…
