Join us for this very special evening at the beautifully renovated and restored Starr Building (McGarrah Jessee!) at 6th Street and Colorado for the Austin Foundation for Architecture End of the Year Celebration!
On Thursday, December 1, 2011 from 7-9pm, AFA will honor Texas developer and hotelier Liz Lambert who will share her thoughts about her work in Texas.
The new McGarrah Jessee building is an excellent renovation and restoration of the 1954 building which features a mural designed by renowned modern artist Seymour Fogel, interiors by prestigious mid-century interior designer Florence Knoll; and of course, the first escalators in Austin.
Help us celebrate this very special space and raise a toast to our honorees, Liz Lambert and the Arthouse at the Jones Center.

The Austin Foundation for Architecture was founded in 2007 specifically to promote a higher standard of living in Central Texas through community advocacy of the built environment and urban experience. AFA is dedicated to reaching across the community through educational programs and philanthropic contributions that inspire strong design ideas and better awareness of what it takes to make Central Texas a “model” place to live and work. In addition to the general public, AFA will target professional, government, education and business leaders and organizations in its programming and philanthropy. Each year the AFA honors those from the community who work to raise the quality of the urban experience in Central Texas.
