Harry Wolf (architect)

Harry Wolf (1925-2017) was an American architect known for his innovative and often monumental designs. He frequently incorporated geometric principles and a focus on natural light into his work. Wolf was born in Vienna, Austria, and emigrated to the United States in 1938. He studied architecture at Yale University, earning his Bachelor of Architecture in 1950.

Wolf established his own practice, Harry Wolf Architect, and gained recognition for projects that emphasized spatial clarity and material honesty. His notable works include the Miami-Dade Cultural Center (now HistoryMiami Museum), the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida, and the Dallas Arts District Theater Center (now the AT&T Performing Arts Center's Wyly Theatre). He was a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA). His designs frequently explored the relationship between the built environment and the natural world, often incorporating elements like water and landscape into his architectural compositions.
