The Harwell Hamilton Harris Architectural Drawings and Photographs consist of blueprints and architectural drawings including sketches that document residences located in North Carolina, Texas, and California. Included are also digitized oversized poster boards which do not exist in physical form and are only digitally available. Harwell Hamilton Harris (1903-1990) was born in Redlands, California. He apprenticed with the noted modernist architects Richard Neutra and Rudolf Schindler until 1933, at which time he established his own practice in Los Angeles. In 1943, he taught for one year at Columbia University before returning to California. From 1952 to 1955, he was the Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. In 1962, he accepted a teaching position at North Carolina State University, where he remained until his retirement. Harris was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (1965) and a recipient of the Richard Neutra Medal for Professional Excellence (1982) and is remembered for his influential modernist-style architectural works in California, Texas, and North Carolina. The Harris Lecture Series at North Carolina State University is named in his honor. Less
