Arthur Trystan Edwards FRIBA FRTPI FRGS (10 November 1884 – 30 January 1973) was a Welsh architectural critic, town planner and amateur cartographer.
He studied under the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield as an articled pupil[3] from 1907[4] and was enrolled at the Liverpool School of Architecture's department of civic design from 1911 to 1913.
[5] In 1913 he returned to London and worked for the firm of Richardson and Gill; during this period his first architectural criticism was published in the Architects' and Builders' Journal.
The Things which are Seen: a Revaluation of the Visual Arts was published in 1921 and Good and Bad Manners in Architecture, which is considered to be his best work, in 1924.
[5] John Betjeman noted that the latter work was "the first book to draw attention after the Great War to Regency architecture and to deplore the destruction of Nash's Regent Street.
