John Harrison graduated from the School of Architecture and the Department of Civic Design at the University of Liverpool, and then worked on historic buildings in local government and architectural practise. For the last thirty years he has travelled and worked in India, Pakistan, China and Nepal, documenting and restoring the buildings of Tibet and the Himalaya.

He has written and lectured on his survey and building work in the Himalaya, and produced and toured three exhibitions. He is the author of ‘The LAMO Centre: Restoration and adaptive reuse in Leh Old Town’, and co-author of a monograph on a Tibetan temple in Mustang, Nepal.
