01. Bruce Goff. Study for Space Study Institute, 1956
Drawing inspiration from the branches of a tree, the human hand, and the cellular structure of the living body, Bruce Goff conceived a structure that reflected the interconnectedness and plasticity of modern human life. The structure was meant to hold an institute that would study how we might "free architecture from it's [sic] Earth-bondage and to allow it to become of time and space as our other ways of life are becoming."
