Bruce Goff - Contributions

Contributions

Today, Goff's contributions to the history of 20th-century architecture are widely praised. His extant archive—including architectural drawings, paintings, musical compositions, photographs, project files, and personal and professional papers—is held by the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago.

The University of Oklahoma now sponsors the Bruce Goff Professorship of Creative Architecture in his honor after firing him in a staged sexual scandal with a male student in 1954, that Goff later admitted to "Taking the Bait" and "I got caught.".

His Bavinger House was awarded the Twenty-five Year Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1987, and Boston Avenue Methodist Church was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1999.
