The pilot reported that the airplane ground looped as it slowed following a 3-point, full stall landing. The airplane departed the runway, and the left main wheel contacted the raised asphalt of the parallel taxiway. The left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing contacted the ground resulting in substantial damage to the left wing, fuselage, and empennage. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical failures associated with the airplane that would have resulted in the loss of control. The pilot reported that the local winds were light and variable at the time of the accident.
