More explicitly than his peers, Scott incorporated technology into the Gothic Revival. He helped to give an architectural face to the massive engineering infrastructure which came with 19th-century urban expansion, leaving his mark at St Pancras Station and Whitehall. Architectural historian Gavin Stamp, author of several works on Gilbert Scott, looks at the life and times of this architect.
