We are currently interviewing alumni and friends of the OU Architecture program during Bruce Goff and Herb Greene’s tenure at the school. Recently, we had the pleasure of interviewing alumnus Chayo Frank (B.Arch ’67) at his home in Miami. Chayo told the story of Morris Lapidus, father of the “Miami Modern” movement, recommending to his father that Chayo study under Bruce Goff at the University of Oklahoma. Once at OU, Chayo found that, with Goff, “you never made a mistake.”
