- | {{Template}} | + | {{Template}}'''Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc''' ([[January 27]] [[1814]] – [[September 17]], [[1879]]) was a French [[architect]] and theorist, famous for his restorations of [[medieval]] buildings. Born in [[Paris]], he was as central a figure in the [[Gothic Revival]] in France as he was in the public discourse on "honesty" in architecture, which eventually transcended all revival styles, to inform the moving spirit of [[Modernism]]. Sir [[John Summerson]] considered that "there have been two supremely eminent theorists in the history of European architecture—[[Leon Battista Alberti]] and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc" (Summerson 1948). |
