Gil Wheless Papers 1960-2009

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00145/

The Gil Wheless Papers, 1960-2009, document the professional activities of Gilbert B. Wheless and the landscape architectural firm Environmental Design Associates PC (EDA). The collection is arranged into four series: drawings, photographic materials, project files, and electronic materials. Drawings include blueprints, sketches, and working drawings, mainly representing a variety of projects undertaken by Wheless and EDA, as well as architectural and engineering firms with which they worked. Photographic materials include prints, negatives, and slides depicting the design, construction, and completion of various projects, including residences and residential pools. Project files include EDA promotional materials, reference files, correspondence, sketches and project lists. Electronic files are primarily CDs containing photographs and documents relating to projects. This collection does not document the full extent of projects designed by EDA; it primarily represents just those projects on which Wheless worked. Gilbert B. Wheless, Jr. is a landscape architect who grew up in Durham, North Carolina. He graduated from Durham High School in 1960 and entered the School of Design (now College of Design) at North Carolina State University in 1961. In 1962, he began to focus on landscape architecture and studied under Lewis Clarke and Richard Moore. In 1970 Wheless, Donald Ferlow, and John Soluri became founding principals of Environmental Design Associates, PC. In the 2009, Wheless retired from the firm and returned to Durham.
