- James Wyatt
About this Quote
James Wyatt's quote is referring to the revival of Gothic architecture in the United Kingdom. Gothic architecture is a design of architecture that originated in the Middle Ages and was popular in Europe throughout the 12th to 16th centuries. It is defined by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. In the 18th century, Gothic architecture was mostly forgotten in the UK, however James Wyatt was instrumental in restoring it. He was a popular designer who designed lots of structures in the Gothic design, including Fonthill Abbey and the Pantheon in London. His work helped to popularize the Gothic design in the UK and motivated other architects to develop their own Gothic styles. By restoring the forgotten charm of Gothic architecture, James Wyatt assisted to form the architectural landscape of the UK.
