| Bruce Goff... considered by many architectural critics as a vernacular architect, it would porbably be more accurate to describe him as an indigenous architect. Goff designed some of the most unusual residences ever built in the USA. --o-- Most of his projects were built by the owners themselves, often on a rather leisurely schedule. These pictures are of the residence of Joe & Itsuko Price which was built near Bartlesville, Olahoma over a 20 year period beginning in 1956. The building was expanded over the years to display a collection of Japanese art acquired by the Prices'. After the Price family relocated to southern California, the house was generously donated to the Oklahoma University School of Architecture, where Goff had been teaching for the past few decades. --o-- In 1996, the house suffered a major fire, so tours are no longer possible. |
