HARRY CHARLES WOLF III, FAIA (1935-)
Wolf was born in Charlotte and graduated in 1958 with a BS in architecture from Georgia Tech followed by a Bachelors of Architecture from MIT in 1960. After working with Odell and Graves & Toy he founded Wolf Johnson Associates in Charlotte in 1966 which became Wolf Associates. Wolf moved to New York in 1983, taught at Harvard and Columbia, then moved to Los Angeles in 1988. He appeared briefly in the movie Concert of Wills about Richard Meier and the making of the Getty Center.
Wolf won 30+ awards from the national AIA plus his NCNB Beatties Ford Branch Bank in Charlotte won the AIA National Honor Award, as was the NCNB Park Road Branch in Charlotte NC, the Equitable/Coca Cola building in Charlotte, the Mecklenburg County Courthouse, and the NCNB/NationsBank Tampa tower. Charlotte is the only city outside of NY, Chicago, LA and SF - where one architect has produced four buildings receiving that distinct recognition. In Raleigh NC, he designed the 1978 addition to the NCSU School of Design, later named Kamphoefner Hall. Wolf lives and works in Porto, Portugal.
