Looking forward to this show. I was so surprised when I fist learned about Viollet-le-Duc's idealized and occasionally fantastical architectural restorations. It was the first thing to open my eyes to the complexities and responsibilities of preservation/restoration.
The ‘88 castles are peak nostalgia for me. Loved those Robin Hood sets.
Gothic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe: Two classics and one new-to-me story. Poe’s dilettantish interest in interior design and architecture shines through in this collection of tales where buildings become tombs.
January reads. Mostly finishing up the gifted books from the holidays. Not my usual, but each was worth reading.
