Saturday 21 June – Sunday 22 June 2008

This weekend of events celebrating the work of visionary architect Bruce Goff will include presentations and discussion by key figures including Charles Jencks, Piers Gough and Sid Robinson, as well as the world premiere of a new film about Goff by acclaimed artist Stephen Prina, and the UK premiere of 'Goff in the Desert' by Heinz Emigholz.

Goff’s organic approach has long held the attentions of architects internationally. He was a seminal influence on the Archigram movement, and has had a long-standing impact on eco-architects such as Architype. Forms and ideas Goff proposed long before the ease of digital manipulation, and his pioneering use of found materials and penchant for reflective surfaces now resonate with the architectural practices of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid, amongst many others. The events seeks to take the measure of Goff’s formidable achievements, and to highlight the spirit and foresight of his powerful vision.
