P A R K S P A C E
2020
P A R K S P A C E is an intervention that helps visualize social distancing guidelines in Austin’s parks and green spaces. As Austinites step carefully back out of their homes, we need to shift the ways we move through and interact in public spaces. To help with this transition, P A R K S P A C E provides a creative wayfinding system to encourage safe practices for our community.
Exhibitions
The Austin Foundation for Architecture and AIA Austin jointly coordinate an exhibition program to interpret architecture and its relationship to art, culture, and community for a broad public audience. Through environments conducive to learning and discovery, these experiences are intended to promote the critical examination and understanding of architecture, and to inspire curiosity and delight.
