Architecture terrible was an architectural style advocated by French architect Jacques-François Blondel in his nine-volume treatise Cours d'architecture (1771–77). Blondel promoted the style for the exterior design of prisons: the form of the building itself would proclaim its function and serve as a deterrent, and so achieve a "repulsive style" of heaviness that would "declare to the spectators outside the confused lives of those detained inside, along with the force required for those in charge to hold them confined". Blondel further described it as "...a style where the principles of art seem to be crushed under the weight of the Artist's ignorance".

| - Architecture terrible was an architectural style advocated by French architect Jacques-François Blondel in his nine-volume treatise Cours d'architecture (1771–77). Blondel promoted the style for the exterior design of prisons: the form of the building itself would proclaim its function and serve as a deterrent, and so achieve a "repulsive style" of heaviness that would "declare to the spectators outside the confused lives of those detained inside, along with the force required for those in charge to hold them confined". Blondel further described it as "...a style where the principles of art seem to be crushed under the weight of the Artist's ignorance". London's second Newgate Prison, built between 1768 and 1775, is an example of this style of architecture: reinforced walls almost without windows, a deliberate inelegance, and overt symbolism such as carved chains over entrances were all designed to instill terror in those who saw it.

- L'Architecture terrible' est un style d'architecture développé par l'architecte Jacques-François Blondel dans son ouvrage en neuf volumes Cours d'architecture ou traité de la décoration, distribution et constructions des bâtiments contenant les leçons données en 1750, et les années suivantes (1771–1777). L'architecture terrible s'appliquait à la conception de l'extérieur des prisons. Avec le but de faire comprendre qu'il serait impossible de s'en évader et de montrer un bâtiment d'aspect effrayant susceptible d'influencer les malfaiteurs. Il fallait "montrer aux spectateurs à l'extérieur la vie pénible des personnes détenues à l'intérieur, avec la force à la disposition de ceux chargés de les garder enfermés". La seconde Prison de Newgate construire de 1768 à 1775 est un exemple de cette architecture : des murs renforcés presque sans fenêtres, une inélégance voulue et des symboles comme les chaînes sur les portes étaient faits pour impressionner.

- Col termine francese di Architecture terrible (in italiano "architettura terribile") si indica uno stile architettonico teorizzato dall'architetto francese Jacques-François Blondel nel suo trattato Cours d'architecture ou traité de la décoration, distribution et constructions des bâtiments contenant les leçons données en 1750, et les années suivantes (1771–77). Blondel promosse l’architecture terrible come soluzione ideale per l'aspetto esterno delle carceri. La forma stessa della prigione doveva indicarne la funzione e servire da deterrente così da divenire noto anche come "stile repulsivo" con un senso di pesantezza che "dichiarasse allo spettatore dall'esterno la vita confusa di quanti vi erano detenuti all'interno, assieme alla forza adoperata da quanti li custodivano". La seconda prigione di Newgate, a Londra, costruita tra il 1768 ed il 1775, era un chiaro esempio di questo stile architettonico: mura rinforzate senza finestre, deliberata mancanza di dettagli eleganti e simboli scolpiti come catene sopra le entrate per instillare terrore a quanti le vedevano.
