College of Architecture professor Elizabeth Pober and doctoral student Ken Marold are currently working with undergraduate architecture students to create both virtual reality and three-dimensional printed models of Bruce Goff’s Bavinger House. The house, designed by Bruce Goff and built by students and faculty in Norman in 1955, was destroyed by its current owner in 2011. Pober’s project aims to digitally preserve the magical and wholly unique experience of the Bavinger House in the best ways we can. These models will be incorporated into “The American School of Architecture” exhibition.
