St Andrew’s, Felixstowe, an early Raymond Erith building which must be one of his firm's first commissions. Traditional forms but in concrete from brief period when modernism & tradition could still dance together. A fascinating glimpse of a (better) C20th path not taken where new materials might have played with ancient forms & features & the future remained in communion with the past

Every so often, a Victorian shop or gin palace, rich with joyfully vulgar excess, is swapped out for another modernist lump, bereft of fun or detail. Marks & Spencer’s recently approved proposal to demolish their fine Art Deco department store and replace it with “could be anywhere” spreadsheet architecture is particularly heartless. They should have picked our proposal with @FTerryArchitect which was five times more popular with the public...

What a spectacular improvement. If more new buildings were such a palpable IMPROVEMENT on the status quo would more than 2% of people trust developers to improve existing places? Well done @FTerryArchitect

This is a tweet posted in 2019. #Clandon should do the same. Replace what was lost, faithfully. What is the point of heritage legislation if that isn’t done?

Mid twentieth century design was creating a better world, evolving eternal patterns to bigger buildings & higher streets. Here pilasters, & spandrels, cornices, a mezzanine first storey and a string set back help this six storey building improve the street. Gentle Density

“I say barbarous because it's a complete lack of confidence that we can rebuild what was there.”
The National Trust’s decision not to restore the ruined Clandon Park House is “barbarous", classical architect @FTerryArchitect tells #TimesRadio.

Should we rebuild the starting gates of Colchester Roman Circus to boost the city's economy & place-appeal? We're delighted to be supporting the inspiring @FTerryArchitect to this end. Later we might move on to ...
