sorry i miss the pugin & the gothic revival lecture

Hey there peeps, sorry for another late post-missed the lecture as I had to pop home for a few days. Anyhow back to the lecture...although I have missed it, I have researched about the gothic design. During the last semester of year 1, the final main assignment for Design Studies was to produce a design journal about critical thinking for the lectures during the second semester of year 1. A handout was given by Richard Carr at the start of one of his lectures-Design and Engineering. In the handout it mentions Sir Gilbert Scotts's neo-gothic hotel, which is situated at London, St Pancras Station.

Sir Gilbert Scott's work is based on almost gothic style, he was one of the most successful architects of his time. His belief in the supremacy of gothic over classical and renaissance styles for the public and collegiate buildings, added with his often conjectural restorations of medieval churches led to controversy.

Some of his finest scottish buildings include; St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral (located in Edinburgh) built 1872-1879, and the Albert Institute (located in Dundee) built 1865-1867.

Other famous buildings include; the Albert Memorial, built 1862-1872 and the Grand Midland Station and Hotel at St Pancras, built 1868-1874. (Both located in London)

Although such magnificent architecture and style led to controversy, how did all these beautifully designed buildings survived to this day and admired by many? Had a new trend or style been created, which also exist in the fashion sense and that it has created such a change in design of architecture that influences people's lives?
