Agatha Christie's 'Dead Man's Folly'

In 1954 Agatha Christie wrote a novella which was intended to raise money for her local church. Upon completion she was so taken with the story that she decided to develop it into a full novel, and submitted a different story to the fundraising effort. The work she had originally written was called Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly, and this work was expanded and eventually published in…

Ben Pentreath, Driehaus laureate

A house designed by Ben Pentreath in Moscow. (Ben Pentreath Ltd.) I believe I first heard of architect Ben Pentreath from a video called “Three Classicists” in which he, along with George Saumarez Smith, and Francis Terry drew, in 2010, a classical scene on the walls of the Kowalski Gallery, in London. It was videotaped in stop action, or time-lapse, shrinking the time of drawing to about three…

The Architectural Hybrid of Heaven and Hell: An Ideological Crisis

In the hallowed halls of the Architectural Association in Bedford Square, a profound and transformative event was about to take place. Quinlan Terry, the stalwart guardian of classical architecture, and Sir Peter Cook, the visionary founder of Archigram, found themselves at an ideological crossroads.

Quinlan Terry, armed with his meticulously detailed drawings, symbolized the timeless principles of classical architecture. His speeches, delivered with the gravitas of a sage, emphasized the enduring nature of classical design. He often proclaimed, "If classicism lies in ruins, you can pick up one stone from the rubble and rebuild it all again!”

Contrasting sharply, Sir Peter Cook emerged from the avant-garde movement of Archigram, bringing with him radical sketches that defied convention. His vibrant, unpredictable designs spoke the language of a futuristic utopia.

Their encounter was more than a clash of personalities; it represented the broader ideological crisis within architecture today.

Quinlan: "Peter, we need order and symmetry. A solid foundation! Look at these columns – they’re like the angels holding up the sky."

Peter: "Quinlan, columns are relics of the past. What we need are spaceships and bouncy castles! Buildings that dance to the rhythm of the 21st century!"

This debate mirrored a deeper existential struggle within the field: the tension between preserving classical principles and embracing innovative, sometimes chaotic, design. It was a meeting of heaven and hell, where the sanctity of classical order met the anarchy of modern innovation.

In this delicate balance, we find a path forward. It is not about choosing between heaven or hell, but about finding harmony between the two. This synthesis, where order meets innovation, is what makes architecture – and life – truly profound.

Architects tend to think if it’s popular, there’s something wrong.

- Quinlan Terry

To those in the architecture industry, Quinlan Terry is a divisive figure. While the philosopher Roger Scruton hails Quinlan Terry as ‘our greatest living architect’, the architectural critic Gavin Stamp brands Terry ‘pedantic and unimaginative… a victim of that perennial curse of English Architecture: Palladianism.’ But there is no question that Quinlan Terry’s mission and clarion call to design buildings that last and are easy on the eye have caught the popular imagination. Terry’s work has been seminal in the revival of classical architecture since the 1960s, a grassroots revolution led by a couple of mavericks at their drawing boards.

As a scholar, he was expected to bow at the drawing boards of the likes of Le Corbusier. He worked on placement for modernist behemoth Jim Stirling (of No 1 Poultry fame) and rubbed shoulders in class with Richard Rogers. And yet his sketchbooks were full of details of country churches, symmetrical façades, and the monuments of classical Western architecture. He was told that if he didn’t design a modernist scheme, he would fail his finals. He swallowed a bitter pill of compliance.

‘I prepared a design of an ugly asymmetrical high building in steel and glass, which wasn’t difficult,’ he recalls, ‘and my tutors were delighted. They thought they had a convert.’

Terry spent a year working for a modern architect, during which he created some of his least recognisable buildings: steel and glass office blocks in Victoria Street. ‘I became deeply depressed at the thought of making this beautiful world uglier,’ he says, and considered giving up all together.

But then he met Raymond Erith, who at the time was almost the last surviving classical architect. Erith was responsible for the rebuilding of 10, 11, and 12 Downing Street, and some college buildings in Oxford, and he was a Royal Academician, but he was also a pariah in the architectural world. Terry says Erith was ‘a lone voice in the wilderness’ because he shirked the egomaniacal, modernist dogma of the day in favour of buildings that looked like they had always been there. Erith wrote to Macmillan in 1955 of his Downing Street scheme: ‘I do not intend to leave my mark on Downing Street, but I shall carry on as best I can in the way the neighbouring buildings were built.’

Erith took Terry on in 1962. ‘That was my apprenticeship,’ he says. ‘He had four daughters and no son, and I think he looked on me as a son. He really taught me.’ When there was a lull, Erith encouraged Terry to go to Rome for four months on a scholarship. This was a time when, sleuth-like in a five-piece tweed suit, Terry clambered over the pediments and architraves of the Pantheon taking measurements.

Erith died in 1973, and Terry took on the office. There was little work and he had three young children and a dog to cater for. A few small projects kept him going, including an enormous Doric column for Lord McAlpine, supported on a pedestal bearing a Latin inscription that translates as: ‘This monument was built at great expense with funds which — sooner or later — would have been taken away by tax collectors.’

Terry’s fortunes improved in 1984, with a commissioned for Richmond Riverside. Scruton wrote of the scheme that ‘this harmonious collection of classical buildings, rising on a knoll above the Thames, illustrates Terry’s principles; to use an architectural language that puts a building into relation with its neighbours and with the passer-by.’

The jobs kept coming - from Brentwood Cathedral to Royal Hospital Chelsea and private mansions in Dallas, Terry took the classical revival head-on. He became known as Prince Charles’s favourite architect for his work at Poundbury, among other projects. He was awarded a CBE.

“We are not designing cars or aeroplanes or armaments which have to be replaced every 20 years to keep up with our competitors. We are designing permanent homely places where people want to dwell in our towns and countryside. Is it not about time we began to think the unthinkable, to reject the whole Modernistic system of building and begin to realise that the only way forward is to look back and rediscover what our forefathers handed down to us. Only then will we have any chance of producing an environment which will be sustainable and worth passing on to our grandchildren.” — Quinlan Terry
