Biographie de Richard Pare

Richard Pare was born in England in 1948. In his early years he was a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral. Later he studied photography and graphic design in Winchester and at Ravensbourne College of Art before moving to the United States in 1971. In 1973 he graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and since then he has been working as a photographer with a particular affinity for architecture.
His most recent project is an ongoing study of the architecture of Le Corbusier. He was the founding curator for the photography collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture from its inception in 1974 until he became a consultant to the collection in 1989, a role he continues to fulfill. His works have been exhibited widely and he is represented in many of the major public collections of photography.
He continues to write and lecture on the history of photography. His numerous exhibitions and publications include Court House : A Photographic Document (1978) Photography and Architecture : 1839-1939 (1982), and The Lost Vanguard, Architecture of the Russian Avantgarde 1922-1932. Tom Henegan was born in London, England, in 1951, and was educated at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, where he subsequently taught from 1979.
In 1990, he was invited by Arata Isozaki to be one of only five foreign architects commissioned to design buildings in the "Kumamoto Art Polis" programme in Japan. This led to Heneghan's establishment of a Tokyo office. In 1994, he received the Award of the Japan Architecture Academy - the highest accolade in Japanese architecture. He has taught at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Waseda University and the Rikka University and he is currently visiting Foreign Professor in the Department of Architecture at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts.
