The complete works and writings of this influential architect, one of the foremost Classical revivalists of the late 20th century, are assembled here in chronological order along the lines of Palladio's "Quattro Libri". The projects and texts provide a guide to Terry's development from a young apprentice with Raymond Erith to his recent work in Cambridge, Richmond and Paternoster Square.

This is the first of four volumes of sketchbooks, kept by Quinlan Terry throughout his career to record the buildings he has encountered. He records their form and detail where noteworthy as source material. This series of sketchbooks covers the anonymous everyday architecture, frequently Georgian. Terry's travels in Italy will be represented in further volumes of a similar format delaying with Rome (Vol II) and Venice (Vol III). Volume IV will include other Italian studies as well as those from his 1993 visit to India.

Acclaimed British architect Quinlan Terry's guide to more than 2,000 years of classicism in architecture In this beautiful illustrated survey, British architect Quinlan Terry (born 1937) presents his ultimate guide to classical architecture. With intricate and lively sketches, he explains the classical orders of architecture that were created by Vitruvius around 100 AD. The tradition of building using these orders was maintained well into the 20th century, until modernism began to dominate architecture. With this book, Terry, a strong proponent of classical architecture, aims to place focus on the kind of architecture that dominated the field for almost 2,000 years in the West--the vocabulary and heritage of which is known by few today. The book contains a large number of Terry's drawings and sketches from travels, as well as linocuts. Also included are his drawings of such quintessential examples of the use of classical orders as St. Mark's Square and San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice and Inigo Jones' St. Paul's Cathedral in London, alongside drawings of Terry's own structures, such as Brentwood Cathedral in Essex, England. In addition, Terry compares his own studies with those of Andrea Palladio and Vincenzo Scamozzi. Prince Charles, another advocate for classical architecture, who holds Quinlan Terry as his favorite among contemporary architects, provides the preface.
