Biography
French architect and theorist, famous for his interpretive "restorations" of medieval buildings. He was the architect hired to design the internal structure of the Statue of Liberty. Born in Paris, he was a major Gothic Revival architect.Viollet-le-Duc is considered by many to be the first theorist of modern architecture. Sir John Summerson wrote that "there have been two supremely eminent theorists in the history of European architecture - Leon Battista Alberti and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.”
From 1858 onwards he was able to fulfill his dream project: the restoration of the castle of Pierrefond, this on the order of emperor Napoleon III. Viollet-le-Duc died before the restoration was finished.
