简介：Augustus Northmore Welby Pugin is far from being a household name, yet he designed the iconic clock tower of Big Ben as well as much of the Palace of Westminster. The 19th century Gothic Revival that Pugin inspired, with its medieval influences and soaring church spires, established an image of Britain which still defines the nation. Presenter Richard Taylor charts Pugin's extraordinary life story and discovers how his work continues to influence Britain today.
奥古斯特 普金远非一个寻常的名字，他设计了标志性的大本钟塔楼以及西敏寺宫。他还在19世纪掀起一种向哥特致敬的风潮，其深受中世纪建筑风格影响的理念以及对哥特式尖顶的痴迷在很大程度上造就了并奠定了今日不列颠岛国的建筑风貌。
