IHBC’s heritage business register HESPR – our Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition quality assurance scheme for heritage services – emails members weekly ‘News and Tender Alerts’, and this week features BDonline on Quinlan Terry and how ‘Architects don’t know how to produce classical schemes’.
… lack of skill on the part of design professionals…

Classical architect Quinlan Terry has claimed that one reason few new-build projects are delivered in a classical style is a lack of skill on the part of design professionals….
His comments came in an interview with the Daily Telegraph promoting his new book, The Layman’s Guide to Classical Architecture, in which he also suggested the government was beginning to recognise the ability of high-quality traditional design to overcome nimbyism.
Asked why so little new development was delivered in traditional style, Terry said he believed a lack of understanding on the part of professionals was principally to blame for a plethora of flat-roofed concrete projects.
