CONJUNCTURED: Where Physical Space Met Cultural Revolution (Austin, 2008-2014).
Conjunctured was one of the original 50 coworking spaces in the world (Today there are 30,000+ spaces globally) . Launched two years prior to the founding of WeWork. We operated for 6.5 years and grew to three locations across Austin, Texas. This website serves as museum (of sorts). Don’t miss the awesome Flickr gallery of photos.
