Interested in getting an inside look at the glamourous world of Architecture? It's not all fancy cocktail parties and blowing up buildings that don't conform to your specifications. There is also a lot of drawing. The architects probably won't actually be drawing during the tour, but you will be able to walk around their offices and pretend that they are right there in front of you envisioning the future of our built environment, like gods that walk the earth.

Maps will be provided so you may tour the studios at your own pace. Architecturally-correct refreshments will be served. The tour is self-guided (walking/biking/driving). The $5.00 ticket price goes to benefit Uplift Austin.
