Queer Designs and Cold War Homophobia: Lessons from the Life of Bruce Goff

Jan 29, 2025, 4:00 – 5:00 PM

You will not find much about Bruce Goff in histories of architecture or design. At most, he was called “eccentric”, a characterization he shared with Frank Lloyd Wright, who also experienced his share of marginalization. Practicing after World War II, Goff, like Wright, created architecture and interiors in the American Midwest, many for the middle class, which still stand as inventive examples of design.
