Radical Classicism

With the intense new interest in classical design (in evidence in such magazines as Architectural Digest) and a growing boredom with modernism, it is crucial that the work of the most renowned and prominent classically oriented architects be broadcast for the large and growing audience demanding to see their work.

Quinlan Terry is one of the most celebrated practitioners of the form. And also perhaps the most radical. An architectural monograph on one of the most renowned classicist architects in practice today. Presenting approximately 30 projects, including state rooms at #10 Downing Street, a library and residential building at Cambridge University, a Cathedral in Essex, a church in Bishopsgate, office buildings in Munich and Berlin, four buildings in Williamsburg, Va., seven townhouses in London, ten large country houses in England, Germany, and the U.S. Terry is a Cambridge-trained architect at home in every traditional style, from Classical Greek to Roman, Gothic to Renaissance, and Baroque to Neo-classical – and all designed with an astonishing freshness where the old times never looked so good.
