Pugin believed Gothic was true Christian architecture, boldly saying "The pointed arch was produced by the Catholic faith".
Pugin's most famous building is The Houses of Parliament in London, which he designed in two campaigns, 1836 — 1837 and again in 1844 and 1852, with the classicist Charles Barry as his co-architect.
Pugin provided the external decoration and the interiors, while Barry designed the symmetrical layout of the building, causing Pugin to remark, "All Grecian, Sir; Tudor details on a classic body".

Pugin practised largely on his own, often singing while he worked, in his house at Ramsgate, with the help of his third wife and, from 1845, his one male pupil, John Hardman Powell, the nephew of his friend, the metal and glass manufacturer John Hardman.
The display is dominated by Pugin’s fine church plate and remnants of his sets of vestments, but it also includes his publications, full-size facsimiles of his exemplar stonework, large reproductions of his two Tasmanian stained glass windows, brass rubbings, and architectural drawings, early photographs and recent views of his buildings.
Pugin’s emphasis on the architectural expression of the functional parts of a building was explored by Le Corbusier and is still a much-used and valid method of deriving form.
