Carol Wilson<\/a><\/strong>, a two-time NC State alumna, has been announced as the first speaker for a new architecture lecture series endowed in honor of Roger Clark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark has taught in the College of Design (previously named the School of Design) for over 45 years. His teaching was recognized by Professor Emeritus Pat Rand, who created the Architecture Speaker Support Endowment in Clark\u2019s honor in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilson is an architect based in Maine. She owns a small firm that primarily focuses on residential work, and her creativity can be seen in buildings as far as New York and Soho. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI grew up in Salisbury, North Carolina- that\u2019s my hometown. In the 60s, some wonderful modern architecture was taking place there,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cI was just fascinated, and I couldn\u2019t understand why people lived in and built such traditional houses when these new houses showed you a different way of living. I just decided I wanted to be an architect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilson was a student of Clark\u2019s during her time studying architecture at NC State. Clark taught a range of classes, including undergraduate foundational courses and graduate studios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
