| Taking place October 1st and 2nd from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Homes Tour provides the general public with an opportunity to view newly renovated or completed homes to find an architect they’d like to work with, get ideas for products or techniques for their own homes, or enjoy the work of Austin’s finest architects. This year’s featured architects are: Alterstudio Architects, LLP A Parallel Architecture Barley & Pfeiffer Architects Brian Dillard Architecture Cornerstone Group Architects Dick Clark Architecture KRDB McKinney York Architects Mell Lawrence Architects Murray Legge, AIA - LZT Architects Pollen Architecture and Design Paul Lamb Architects Rauser Design Rick & Cindy Black Architects Stuart Sampley Architect Keeping in line with the city’s movement to make Austin bike-friendly, AIA Austin has created a special Bike Program for this year’s tour. Each house will have bike racks and water stations so families can easily enjoy the tour on two wheels. A separate Tour Map including bike routes will be available. Austin City Council member Chris Riley will kick off the Homes Tour at the Austin Center for Architecture with a few words about biking in Austin, and will lead a group of bikers to the first stop on the tour. Tickets to the AIA Homes Tour go on sale September 1, 2011 and may be purchased at Zinger Hardware (Central Market location), Five Elements Furniture, or directly from AIA Austin. Additional information about the Homes Tour is available at: www.aiaaustin.org. |
