Workshops

Learn how the best places get built.

We’re hosting our inaugural hands-on workshop in Oklahoma City this fall, on masonry and design with development thinking woven through. Architects, builders, developers, curious newcomers welcome.

Building Culture believes in sharing knowledge. We’ve learned from many who came before. Our goal isn’t just to thrive as a business — it’s to set a new trajectory for American cities toward more beautiful, connected, resilient places. The workshops are one way we do it.

Coming this fall

Inaugural Masonry and Design Workshop.

Oklahoma City, October 2026.

Austin spent two years apprenticing under a master mason after leaving a CPA career — drawn to the idea of building for centuries, not cycles. The workshops are how he passes that on.
