Part biography of a well-known architect, part analysis of Goff’s work, Bruce Goff: Architecture of Discipline in Freedom (2017) is also a finely woven tapestry of information and interpretation that encompasses the ideas and experiences that shaped Goff’s artistic vision over his lifetime. Based on scores of interviews with Goff’s associates and former students, as well as author Arn Henderson’s (B.Arch ’61) firsthand study of Goff’s extant buildings, this volume deepens our appreciation of the great architect’s lasting legacy.

Bruce Goff: Architecture of Discipline in Freedom is available for purchase here.
