Alan
Ingram

(1929–2012)

Ingram was born in London. He graduated from the RIBA and emigrated to North Carolina in 1956. Here he met the woman, Phyl, with whom he would spend the next 56 years. Opening an office in Charlotte in 1960, he practiced architecture internationally for nearly fifty years, designing houses and later industrial and retirement facilities.

Alan's love for learning was boundless. He learned numerous foreign languages, wrote poetry, sculpted wonderful sculptures, became an accomplished horseman, a skilled archer, and a pilot. Said Ingram in 2009, "I am not from around these parts. I am American by act of Congress, and southern by grace of God."
