Terry has been called "our most controversial architect - precisely because he is so uncontroversial" and his work has attracted much criticism even from conservative quarters. Gavin Stamp remarked that after the death of Raymond Erith, Terry was left "to hold aloft the torch of classicism--something he was, I fear, quite unfitted to sustain" and he has also been called "exquisite but impractical."

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or criticism:
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
