Recently the Animal Architecture Awards caught the attention of Michael Hoinski of Texas Monthly and the New York Times. We’re honored to have been included in his listing of shows and events to see in Houston, Texas. See what he had to say about the show here. A full link the article is here. Download the pdf here.
