"What has happened to architecture since the second world war that the only passers-by who can contemplate it without pain are those equipped with a white stick and a dog?"

This quote by Bernard Levin is a criticism of the state of architecture since the Second World War. He is suggesting that the architecture of this period is so poor that the only people who can value it are those who are blind and depend on a white stick and a canine to guide them. He is implying that the architecture of this period is so uninspiring and dull that it is just available to those who can not actually see it. This quote is a stark suggestion of the importance of excellent architecture and how it can be used to develop a sense of charm and marvel on the planet. It is a suggestion that architecture need to be developed with care and thought, and not just for the sake of benefit.
