Bruce Goff’s Bavinger House Demolished with Little Warning

The Bavinger House, by famous US architect Bruce Goff, has been
demolished , leaving no trace of its prior existence but an empty clearing
amid Blackjack trees, reports Hyper allergic. The Bavinger House is
considered by many to be the crowning achievement of Bruce Goff, an
esteemed architect who was once referred to by his mentor Frank Lloyd
Wright as one of the few creative American architects. Its spiraling form
and integration with the landscape was one of the first instances of
modernist bio-mimicry. Originally built along with students at Oklahoma
University, the house was damaged by a storm in 2011, after which its
status remained a mystery due to its remote, private location and an
unknown individual threatening reporters with gunshots.
