ROBERT
PASCHAL BURNS, JR., FAIA (1933-2005) Burns was born in Roxboro NC. He attended Wake Forest College and NCSU, graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1957. That same year he won the Paris Prize in Architecture and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts for a year. In 1961 he entered MIT and earned a Master of Architecture degree. After working for Eduardo Catalano, he returned to Raleigh to teach at the NCSU School of Design where he was much admired. During the late sixties he had a private practice as with Abie Harris as Harris & Burns at 1906 1/2 Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. After Eduardo Catalano's Raleigh landmark house was destroyed in 2001, he worked closely with Catalano on two ill-fated attempts to rebuild it. Burns won the 2003 Gertrude S. Carraway Award from Preservation North Carolina for his work on the Henry Kamphoefner house. The AIANC gave him the Dietrick Medal in 2004, the same year he won the first Isosceles Award from AIA Triangle. In 2005, he was tragically killed in a car accident. |
