Harry Wolf founded Wolf Associates in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1966, migrated to New York in 1983, and then emerged again in Los Angeles in 1990 where he continues to practice today.

Wolf's work has evolved through his explorations of the infinite potential of platonic geometry to accommodate program and respond to site. The ordering of brick, glass and steel recall Mies van der Rohe in their rigor, but Wolf's balanced asymmetries and sensitivity to human scale, make for a much more user friendly environment than that of the Illinois Institute for Technology. The Mecklenburg County Courthouse, also in Charlotte (1977 1982), bears witness to the influence of Louis Kahn, along with that of Mies, in its modulated solids and voids and its contrasting limestone and curtain wall skins. The subtle influence of these two masters is to be found in much of Wolf’s subsequent work. They emerge in poetic force in the Florida Headquarters of the North Carolina National Bank at Tampa (NationsBank-BankofAmerica), here the landscape a result of the splendid collaboration with his friend Dan Kiley.
