Design Affairs

Architects and Architecture are all about design! And at AIA Austin, we talk about design and demonstrate design in many ways.

Homes Tour

Every year for 24 years, AIA Austin has produced what has become a nationally recognized tour of homes designed by architects for specific clients. Diversity and design excellence are showcased in the tour held every October. Homes are submitted by AIA Austin Architect members and selected by the Homes Tour committee.

Design and Honor Awards

The Design Award Committee issues a call for entries every year to recognize the very best of Austin architecture. Juried by three architects from around the United States, recipients are chosen and then celebrated at the annual Awards Celebration.

Our members and those outside the profession who have made a positive impact on our city, the profession or the organization are recognized in our Honor Awards program and the recipients are celebrated at the Awards Celebration as well. Learn more here.

Open Architecture

Open Architecture is a relatively new program and is an open studio tour - an opportunity for the public to see "up close and personal" what goes on in the studios of our members. The first tour was held in East Austin and 17 studios were open, this year (2010) we went Downtown and 22 studios opened their doors! Each year the ticket sales benefit a non-profit that is related to the architecture community. Click here to learn more about this event.
