As I was brought up with a religious family and maintain my own religious beliefs, cathedrals are my first point of call when visiting a city. Not only for the over powering religious aspect do I visit but also due to incredible architecture present, with Liverpool Cathedral exhibiting some of the best Gothic revival architecture I have personally come across. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was the main architect responsible for the Cathedrals overwhelming presence upon the city, with his unique style and structural presence he blended traditional Gothic architecture with modernism, developing a style unique to himself. Thus pushing himself as one of the strongest architectural composers of the time, with him also designing the structure of Waterloo Bridge, Battersea Power Station, and the iconic red phone box. It is undoubtable that his work is still highly relevant today, 56 years after his death. Thus providing the sentiment that good design work will never be neglected or appear outdated.
