Bruce Goff was one of the greatest American architects of the 20th century.

His unconventional perspective challenged stigmas about the Midwest’s inability

to produce innovative work. A peer to Frank Lloyd Wright, his work had a profound

influence on the next generation of architects, including Phillip Johnson and

Frank Gehry. However, Goff’s willingness to explore unprecedented forms often

solicited polarized perspectives of his work. As a result of establishing his practice in an otherwise conservative landscape and his unabashed desire to experiment with the possibilities of form, much of his work has been left to decay or forgotten altogether. GOFF explores the life of an iconoclast and chronicles the events that lead to the destruction and renewed interest of his memory and dwellings.

"In order to capture the fading memories of Goff’s legacy on camera we

interpreted his philosophy of the continuous present through moving image and old lecture tapes of Goff’s teaching. Projected archive of Goff’s lost or crumbling designs are layered on to the present state of those structures, making every experience unique and extended into space and time. More than half of the movie is comprised of projections of his work to simulate that time in Goff’s and what remains after his death. Also, to pay tribute to the musical influence in Goff’s life and designs, musicians Mark Kuykendall and Samuel Regan composed an original soundtrack for “GOFF”, recording all of the music live within the spaces he created." - Britni Harris
