FXCollaborative
Austin is the Design Director of FXCollaborative's cultural and educational studio, where he has worked extensively on renovations, new building design, and master plans for K-12, higher education, and international institutions. His practice is informed by his belief that architecture and urban design are humanist pursuits, and that the quality of the built environment, like that of literature, hinges on its ability to articulate meaning, stories, and life.
Austin is also an educator, teaching architecture and urban design at Columbia University and New York University; and an active member of his community in Jersey City, where he servs as a Commissioner on the Jersey City Historic Preservation Commission. He has authored two white papers—Room to Learn: Questions and Strategies in Designing Learning Environments; and Boundary Issues: Built Form, Site Form, Urban Form—as part of Podium, FXCollaborative's ongoing series of research papers.
