S1984E23: We Don't Like Your House Either!

Synopsis

A portrait of one of the most individual architectural talents America has produced. Bruce Goff discovered his vocation as a child in Tulsa, Oklahoma, drawing cathedrals and palaces on scraps of paper, and the innocence of those early visionary sketches is evident in all his later work - from the cathedral in Tulsa he designed at the age of 22, to his extraordinary domestic monuments built for the American householder. A friend and disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright, Goff continued to pioneer well into his 70s. Arena went with him to his native Midwest to see some of his astonishingly varied and inventive commissions.
