James Campbell je architekt a historik architektúry, ktorého práca sa ponorila do vývoja stavebných konštrukcií, najmä architektúry 17. storočia a histórie knižníc. Jeho výskum, ktorý sa zameriava na kľúčové postavy ako Wren a Hawksmoor, využíva jeho rozsiahle praktické skúsenosti architekta z Veľkej Británie, Hongkongu a Spojených štátov. Jeho prístup spočíva v prepojení teoretických poznatkov s praktickým porozumením stavebným procesom a materiálovým vedám. Jeho publikácie často skúmajú, ako sa stavebné techniky a štýly vyvíjali v priebehu času a ako tieto inovácie formovali naše fyzické prostredie.
