"A new
school, probably the only indigenous one in the United States" is how the architect Donald MacDonald described Bruce Goff and Herb Greene's influence on the University of Oklahoma
School of Architecture from 1947 through the 1960s. The famous architects transformed the ways architecture was learned, taught and practiced, creating a uniquely
American architectural style now represented in an archive at the University of Oklahoma Libraries and displayed in an exhibition in Bizzell Memorial Library.
"Renegades: Bruce Goff and the
American
School of Architecture at Bizzell" features selections from the
American
School Archive, including drawings and virtual tours of three residences designed by Bruce Goff, rendered by Skyline Ink of Oklahoma City.

Weldon Bowman, founder and principal of
W Design and OU M.Arch alunnus, has been named one of three finalists for Tulsa Regional Chamber's Small-Business Person of the Year. In an interview with the Tulsa World, Bowman commented, "I attended the University of Oklahoma, where I struggled to find my calling until a chance visit to a dorm room of a friend who happened to be building a model for their architecture studio. The idea that I could actually use my hobby as a career is what set me on my path. I had found my calling."
