The Kansas-born architect Bruce Goff (1904–1982) received no formal architectural training. Many of his sixty-two buildings depicted in Goff in the Desert are tucked away in Kansas, Texas, and Missouri, while others are in Chicago and California. (He briefly had offices in Berkeley.) Particularly after 1940, his buildings are fanciful and imaginative, both ordinary and extraordinary. Using brick, wood, glass, and stone, Goff explores patterns-windows are variously circular, triangular, diamond-shaped; roofs and buildings too take surprising and radical shapes. A building has a metal dinosaur soaring above it, a church resembles a silo, a house has distinctive windows calling to mind a vertical row of eyes. See for yourself how Goff-and Emigholz-design and experience space.
