Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (27 January 1814 – 17 September 1879) was a French architect and theorist famous for his interpretive restorations of medieval buildings. Born in Paris he was a major Gothic Revival architect.His works were largely restorative and few of his independent building designs were ever realised. Strongly contrary to the prevailing Beaux-Arts architectural trend of his time much of his design work was largely derided by his contemporaries.
