Best Converted Gas Station for Hanging Out With Architects

Austin Center for Architecture

Some of our favorite places in Austin used to be gas stations: Threadgill's on Lamar and Nuevo Leon on 15th and San Jacinto, to name a couple. So it's only appropriate that our local chapter of the American Institute of Architects has found a new home in a stylishly renovated gas station on 12th Street near Austin Community College. The building, called the Austin Center for Architecture, houses the Austin chapter of AIA, Austin Foundation for Architecture, and the Austin chapter of Architecture for Humanity. Stylish and available for rent, the space has already been used for several lectures open to the public. You should go. We hear it's a gas!
