Born in England in 1948, Pare studied photography and graphic design before moving to the United States in 1971 where he studied photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since then he has been working as a curator and a photographer. He was the founding curator for the photography collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (Montreal) from its inception in 1974. He continues to write and lecture on the history of photography. His exhibitions and publications include 'Court House: A Photographic Document' (1978), 'Photography and Architecture: 1839-1939' (1982), 'Tadao Ando. The Colours of Light' (1996, AIA monograph award) and 'The Lost Vanguard, Architecture of the Russian Avantgarde' (2007). His current project is a study of the architecture of Le Corbusier, 'Le Corbusier: the Built Work', which will be published by Monacelli Press in 2018.
