ABSTRACT
Chad Everhart with two degrees from North Carolina State's College of Design, the first in environmental design and a second in architecture, has been practicing for 15 years, and on his own for seven. These days, he splits most of his working time between the classroom and the field. He uses two-dimensional software for orthographic drawings and three-dimensional software for computer modeling. While Thomas Jonathan 'Stonewall' Jackson cherished the tactics of mystery, surprise, and speed in his storied Shenandoah Valley campaign, architect Chad Everhart favors just the first two when working with his clients in the mountains of western North Carolina. 'Stonewall' Jackson may have triumphed with speed as his driver in the Valley of Virginia in 1862, but Chad Everhart employs patience today in western Carolina along with the magic of his hand-drawn sketch. He received Merit Award and Honor Award from American Institute of Architects Winston-Salem.
