The skyline of London, once a classical masterpiece, now bears the mark of a loss that is profoundly felt. Beneath a 1774 painting capturing the city’s grandeur, a stark black-and-white photograph reveals a modern vista dominated by ever-taller, monotonous corporate structures. This comparison is disheartening. Terry reflects on this decline, noting that public transport passengers are frequently reminded, “If you see anything that doesn’t look right, speak to a member of staff … See it, say it, sorted.” He argues that it is equally important for ordinary citizens to voice their concerns about architectural aesthetics, suggesting that a return to traditional building practices could restore the beauty of our cities to that of bygone eras.

However, the prospect of such a revival seems remote. Passengers on trains arriving in and departing from London are often absorbed in their mobile devices, and successive governments have demonstrated a lack of concern for the quality of mass housing and commercial developments, opting instead to leave these matters to the “market place.”

In this context, this book arrives as a much-needed call to action. By encouraging readers to observe, sketch, and engage with the architecture of their surroundings, it aims to rekindle an appreciation for the built environment. It is hoped that this book will inspire a greater care and consideration for the design and development of our cities, fostering a renewed commitment to creating beautiful and meaningful spaces.
