==Early life and education==

After graduating from high school in [[Cumberland, Rhode Island]], in 1964, he enrolled in the [[Rhode Island School of Design]] (RISD in [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]]), where he received a bachelor's degree in architecture.<ref name="RISD">{{cite web |title=The Way Macaulay Thinks {{!}} News {{!}} RISD |url=https://www.risd.edu/news/stories/the-way-macaulay-thinks/ |website=www.risd.edu |publisher=Rhode Island School of Design |access-date=9 June 2018 |language=en}}</ref> After graduating he decided against pursuing a career in architecture.<ref name= "Seven Days">{{cite web |last1=Chiang-Waren |first1=Xian |title=In the Studio With David Macaulay |url=https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/in-the-studio-with-david-macaulay/Content?oid=2441198 |website=[[Seven Days (newspaper)|Seven Days]] |access-date=9 June 2018 |language=en |date=17 September 2014}}</ref> He spent his fifth year at RISD in the European Honors Program, studying in Rome.

==Career==
===Literature===
Macaulay is the author of several books on architecture and design. His first book, ''[[Cathedral (children's book)|Cathedral]]'' (1973), was a history, extensively illustrated with [[Ballpoint pen artwork|pen-and-ink drawings]], of the construction of a fictitious but representative [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] cathedral. This was followed by a series of books of the same type: ''City'' (1974), on the construction of Verbonia, a fictitious but typical [[Ancient Rome|ancient Roman]] city; ''Pyramid'' (1975), a collection of diagrams and sketches illustrating the construction process of the [[pyramid]] monuments to the Egyptian [[Pharaoh]]s;<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/david-macaulay/pyramid/|website=www.kirkusreviews.com |title=Pyramid |date=1 September 1975 |publisher=Kirkus Media LLC |access-date=19 April 2015 }}</ref> [[Castle (Macaulay book)|''Castle'']] (1977), on the construction of Aberwyvern castle, a fictitious but typical [[medieval]] [[castle]]; ''Mill'' (1983), on the evolution of [[New England]] mills; and ''Mosque'' (2003), which depicts the design and construction of an [[Ottoman architecture|Ottoman]]-style [[Mosque|masjid]]. The [[September 11 attacks]] motivated Macaulay to create ''Mosque'' to show how the traditions of major religions have more in common than they have dividing them.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hansen |first1=Liane |title=Macaulay Returns to Sacred Space with 'Mosque' |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1497354?storyId=1497354 |website=NPR.org |publisher=[[NPR]] |access-date=9 June 2018 |language=en |date=9 November 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720135941/https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1497354%3FstoryId%3D1497354 |archive-date=20 July 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> ''Cathedral'', ''City'', ''Pyramid'', ''Castle'', and ''Mill'' were later adapted into documentaries with animated period drama segments produced by Unicorn Productions, each of which aired sporadically on [[PBS]] from 1983 to 1994.<ref name="Hudson" /><ref>{{cite web |last1=Unger |first1=Arthur |title=The wonder and meaning of castles are brought to PBS |url=https://www.csmonitor.com/1983/0930/093000.html |via=csmonitor.com |work=[[The Christian Science Monitor]] |access-date=9 June 2018 |date=30 September 1983}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=David Macaulay DVD Combo: Pyramid + Castle + Mill Times + City + Cathedral DVDs |url=https://shop.pbs.org/david-macaulay-dvd-combo-pyramid-castle-mill-times-city-cathedral-dvds-4pk-save-25-av-item/product/MACC753 |website=shop.pbs.org |publisher=[[PBS]] |access-date=9 June 2018 |language=en |archive-date=12 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612135918/https://shop.pbs.org/david-macaulay-dvd-combo-pyramid-castle-mill-times-city-cathedral-dvds-4pk-save-25-av-item/product/MACC753 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Winfrey |first1=Lee |title='Pyramid' Is A Towering Flight Of Imagination |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1989/01/04/pyramid-is-a-towering-flight-of-imagination/ |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |access-date=9 June 2018 |language=en |date=4 January 1989}}</ref>

===Other works===
A mural designed by Macaulay was painted on a wall adjacent to [[Interstate 95 in Rhode Island|Interstate 95]] in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. It depicted statues of famous Rhode Island citizens like [[Moses Brown]] and General [[Ambrose Burnside]] with an energetic dog who had knocked over a statue while chasing after a pigeon. It was on display from 2013 but painted over in 2017 because the [[Rhode Island Department of Transportation]] could no longer repair it after constant [[graffiti]] tagging.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bramson |first1=Kate |title='I did my best': David Macaulay saddened, but not surprised, by demise of R.I. highway mural |url=http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20170731/i-did-my-best-david-macaulay-saddened-but-not-surprised-by-demise-of-ri-highway-mural |website=providencejournal.com |publisher=[[Providence Journal]] |access-date=9 June 2018 |language=en}}</ref>
