Gothic revival
Gothic revival Architecture based on the
Gothic art and architecture of the Middle Ages. Beginning in the late 18th century, it peaked in 19th-century Britain and the USA, also appearing in many European countries. British exponents, notably the critic John
Ruskin and the writer and architect A. W. N.
Pugin, insisted on the need for authentic, structural recreation of medieval styles. Notable examples are the Houses of Parliament in London by Pugin and Sir Charles
Barry, and Trinity Church in New York City by Richard Upjohn.
