ARCHITETTURA ORGANICA - Organic Architecture
BRUCE GOFF
Maestro dell'Architettura Organica come creatività (1904-1982)
" ... Real architecture arrives as a concept which grows from within outward through the natural use of materials - directed and ordered by the creative spirit - so that the form is one with function ... "
" ... Everything is the same except composition and as the composition is different and always going to be different evrything is not the same . So then as a contemporary creating the composition in the beginning was groping toward a continuous present , a using everything , a beginning again and again ... "

Bruce Goff
(b. Alton, Kansas 1904; d. Tyler, Texas 1982)
Bruce Goff was born in Alton, Kansas in 1904. Apprenticed at the age of twelve to Rush, Endacott and Rush of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Goff became a partner with the firm in 1930. Self-educated and exceptionally creative, his designs often depended on creative free-association and borrowed materials.
Without academic credentials Goff became a professor of architecture at the University of Oklahoma. In his capacity as teacher, Goff emphasized a design curriculum based on creativity. Within his private practice, Goff introduced a form of organic architecture that was sensitive to both client needs and site constraints.
With very strong convictions about the importance of individuality, Goff created isolated one-family houses in tree enshrouded pockets of the Great Plains. Although Goff's buildings relied on a combination of structural clarity and spatial complexity, they also used a form of decorative detailing that contrasted with the typical simplicity of twentieth century buildings.
Goff died in Tyler, Texas in 1982.
