Working on a comic loosely inspired by another historically minded architect, Augustus Pugin. The first arc explores Rochester Castle, but I'd love to take our heroes to Notre Dame or Carcassonne to meet Le-Duc.

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.
Would love to see this exhibition on Viollet-le-Duc in New York!
Co-curated by Barry Bergdoll - should be excellent.
