No I'm not a Classicist

My architecture is not prone to overt Classicism, though I'm sympathetic to those who seek to relate their Architecture to humanity by means of a system as deep as that. Beyond the Kriers and Adams, Thomas Gordon Smith, and the lot, here's another: Quinlan Terry of England, kindly pointed out by Greg Mix, a Classicist local to Atlanta. He's not as fun as Shutze, nor does anyone quite draw like the Kriers, and rarely do Classicists show humor like Smith's early work, but he'll do for domestic tranquility, of which we are in need right now.
