Cathedral, City, Pyramid, Castle, and Mill were later adapted into documentaries produced by Unicorn Productions, each of which aired sporadically on PBS from 1983 to 1994. 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. This was followed by a series of books of the same type: City (1974), on the construction of Verbonia, a fictitious but typical ancient Roman city Pyramid (1975), a collection of diagrams and sketches illustrating the construction process of the pyramid monuments to the Egyptian Pharaohs 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-style masjid. His first book, Cathedral (1973), was a history, extensively illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings, of the construction of a fictitious but representative Gothic cathedral. Macaulay is the author of several books on architecture and design. Macaulay currently lives in Norwich, Vermont.
