Another tour of East Austin, this time with architects
Following close on the heels of the East Austin Studio Tour — which this year sprawled over 10 days and included some 250+ artists — comes ‘Open Architecture East’ , a tour of 18 architects’ studios in East Austin.
Sponsored by AIA Austin, the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects. ‘Open Architecture East’ the self-guided tour is expected to be the first of several tours of architecture studios operating in specific areas of Austin.
Many of the firms have set up in interesting locations they’ve designed themselves. At Pollen Architecture, a corner lot on East Twelfth St. was transformed into an indoor/outdoor studio complex.
