Terry is an icon of a style associated with this region, and a leading force — along with Paul Hayden Kirk, Ralph Anderson, Wendell Lovett, Victor Steinbrueck and Fred Bassetti— behind the rise of modernist buildings in the postwar period and through the middle of the 20th century. Rugged, harmonious with the landscape, elegant and exacting in detail, Terry spaces constitute some of the most breathtaking examples of indigenous design. With elements borrowed from Japanese architecture, Terry established a particular Northwest look with broad beams, cool stone and open spaces. He designed interior atriums to take advantage of sparse Northwest light.
