Form:Function 2020
Explore Form:Function Virtually!
Form:Function is an Austin Foundation for Architecture celebration and benefit featuring AIA Austin’s Honor Award winners. The 2020 awards took place November 19, 2020, and recognized the Clarksville Community Development Corporation for Community Vision, Senator Kirk Watson for Public Architecture, Benny L. Hawkins for Community Service, and more.
For 2020, Form:Function was re-conceived as a unique self-guided event space. Using the Matterport 3D platform, Austin’s design-minded community can come together virtually at The Independent to celebrate our honorees, hear remarks by special presenters, and learn how to construct the event’s signature cocktail (the High-Rise, in honor of our venue!) through a demonstration led by our guest bartender, Larry Speck, FAIA!
The 2020 Form:Function event also marked the tenth year of our tradition of honoring community leaders! Learn more about our past honorees here.
