Resumen de A.W.N. Pugin's scheme for Hornby Castle, Yorkshire
The writer discusses A. W. N. Pugin's scheme for the remodeling of Hornby Castle, England, on the basis of a set of 11 previously unpublished drawings that Pugin prepared in 1847. In his work for the project, which provides the most comprehensive example of a drawn scheme by Pugin for a major remodeling and redecoration of an existing house, he focused his efforts on providing impressive circulation areas through the building, starting with a new entrance hall below a chapel. The plan illustrates Pugin's architectural idiosyncrasies almost to an extreme, such as his enduring antagonism toward Picturesque architecture, as well as demonstrating the influence of some of the other projects on which he was simultaneously at work.
