Quinlan Terry - Negative Criticism

Negative Criticism

Terry has been called "our most controversial architect - precisely because he is so uncontroversial" and his work has attracted much criticism even from conservative quarters. Gavin Stamp remarked that after the death of Raymond Erith, Terry was left "to hold aloft the torch of classicism--something he was, I fear, quite unfitted to sustain" and he has also been called "exquisite but impractical."
