Tim Rawle is an English architectural photographer and writer. He is best known for his photographs of buildings in Cambridge, England. ==Biography== Tim Rawle was born in Ashford, Kent. After studying fine art and graphic design at St Martin's School of Art and at the Central School of Art and Design, London, he read architecture at Downing College, Cambridge, continuing his education at the Architectural Association, where he was Caldicott Scholar.〔See Paperback ISBN 0862940508.〕 He first came to prominence with the publication of his book ''Cambridge Architecture'' in 1985. Besides providing the text and the photographs for this venture he also designed the book. The ''Daily Telegraph'' described it as "an astonishingly comprehensive book . . . a unique and valuable record”.〔Gray, Ronald. "Cambridge on parade", ''Daily Telegraph'', no. 40,369, London, Thursday, April 4, 1985.〕 His next book project in 1987 was to provide the photography and design for Cinzia Maria Sicca's ''Committed to Classicism: The Building of Downing College, Cambridge''.〔 Paperback ISBN 0951162004.〕 The following year he was commissioned to design a new pictorial book on the National Portrait Gallery's collection as well as a small guide to the NPG's outstation at Bodelwyddan Castle, North Wales.〔 Paperback ISBN 0904017907; US cloth edition (Cambridge University Press) ISBN 0521373921; 〕 In 1991, he set up a small business called "The Cambridge Portfolio" to publish high-quality calendars, diaries, greetings cards and postcards featuring his photographs of Cambridge buildings and Cambridge town and gown. He did the photography and design for the official guide to King's College Chapel, published in seven different languages.〔Warrior, Josephine: ''A Guide to King's College Chapel, Cambridge'' with photography and design by Tim Rawle, Cambridge, 1994 (English edition), reprinted 1997, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2014.〕 Used extensively by publishers and record companies, many of his pictures have become iconic. For a period spanning several years he produced prospectuses for many Cambridge colleges and independent schools in south-east England. A revised edition of ''Cambridge Architecture'' was brought out by André Deutsch in 1993. His reputation as an accomplished photographer was secured with publication by Frances Lincoln of his book ''Cambridge'' in 2005. According to the book's jacket, "There are familiar and unfamiliar views, but at all times their assured composition bears the unmistakable stamp of this photographer now internationally acclaimed for his Cambridge portfolio." In his review in ''CAM'', the university magazine, the late Dr Peter Richards〔(Dr Peter Richards' ''Guardian'' obituary. )〕 wrote: "At the heart of the book lies a fascinating exploration of seven hundred years of University architecture . . . This is, quite simply, the best introduction to Cambridge ever published." The Howard Foundation commissioned Tim Rawle to be the author and photographer of a new book on Downing College published in September 2015.〔 Book entitled ''A Classical Adventure: The Architectural History of Downing College Cambridge'' ()〕 There are plans afoot to publish a companion volume to ''Cambridge'' simply entitled ''Oxford''. Tim Rawle was appointed a Fellow Commoner of Downing College, Cambridge in 1987.〔(Downing College website ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tim Rawle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
