Henry Kamphoefner
?From 1936 to 1946, Henry Kamphoefner from the University of Illinois
became the chairman of the School of Architecture. Studio courses
during these years followed the Beaux Arts Institute of Design
tradition that was practiced in other American schools of
architecture. The teaching objective was to gain national recognition
for the School by winning design awards for student work from the
Institute's New York juries. Kamphoefner left the University of
Oklahoma to found the School of Architecture at North Carolina State
University at Raleigh, and later became the nation's second recipient
of the prestigious AIA/ACSA Topaz Medal for his contribution to
architecture education.?

?Although NC State (known then as North Carolina State College of
Agriculture and Engineering) had studies in landscape architecture and
architectural engineering as far back as World War I, it was with the
arrival of founding dean Henry Leveke Kamphoefner in 1948 that the
School of Design officially was established. ?
Burns says the founding of the school and the arrival of Kamphoefner
were occasioned by a period of growth and optimism in North Carolina
that followed World War II.

?Over the years, the school has added industrial design and graphic
design to its original departments of architecture and landscape
architecture, making it one of the most broadly based design schools

?Better known to the general public was the School of Design at North
Carolina State College. In 1948, Henry Leveke Kamphoefner, a professor
of architecture from the University of Oklahoma, became the first dean
of the School of Design. Kamphoefner was a staunch promoter of
Modernism and perceived a progressive atmosphere in North Carolina. In
a 1949 statement for the State College yearbook, Kamphoefner referred
to North Carolina as "the most progressive state in the South," and
that in such a state, "the opportunities are unlimited for the
school's graduates to contribute to the solution of problems in
building design, planning and general construction."
?The School of Design and its faculty produced some of the most
striking examples of Modernist architecture in the state.?
