James Mainwaring-Taylor

Biography

My career started as an architectural assistant for small and large architectural practices based in London. In this time, I worked on a wide range of projects including a timber visitors’ centre in the Forest of Dean, a windscreen sculpture by the artist Patrick Heron, and a snow dome leisure complex in Taiwan. Scale, detail, and artistic beauty have always been a driving force in my design. 3d visualisation allowed me to indulge in this artistry and so I became an architectural 3d visualiser.

I have been working as a 3d visualiser now for over 25 years. In this time I have produced 3d visualisations for all types of projects in both scale and complexity, from concept through to final high resolution stills and movies for planning approval and marketing.

I worked for RHWL Architects in London between 1997 and 2011. In 2011 I became a freelance 3d visualiser and secured many high-profile jobs from clients and architects in London and the South West.

I currently work as Senior Visualiser at Quattro design Architects in Gloucester.
