THOMAS GARRETT CROWDER, AIA (1956-)
Raleigh native Thomas Crowder
began his carrier as a draftsman with
Holloway
and Reeves Architects in 1973. In 1976 he moved
to Bartholomew and Wakeham Architects and stayed there until
forming
ARCHITEKTUR in 1993. Crowder is one, if not the last, of North Carolina's architects
to become registered without any formal education, grandfathered under NCARB’s abolished apprenticeship program in 1984. In the early 1980s he worked with
Harwell Hamilton Harris on additions and renovations to a house for Kathy and Norman E Bartholomew, AIA, which Harris originally
designed for NCSU Professor Duncan Stuart. Crowder has served several terms on the Raleigh
Planning Commission and the Raleigh City Council. Additional Resource:
