The Dallas Architecture Forum presents architect and designer Germane Barnes on October 23, 2024. Germane Barnes is a Miami-based architect, designer, and founder of Studio Barnes, a research and design practice. He teaches at and is the Director of The Community Housing & Identity Lab at the University of Miami School of Architecture, a platform for investigations of architecture’s social and political resiliency. Germane investigates the connection between architecture and identity, examining the discipline’s social and political agency through historical research and design speculation.
Barnes’ work is in the permanent collections of MoMA, SF MoMA, LACMA, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The National Museum of African American History and Culture. His work was in MoMA’s ground-breaking exhibition “Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America,” and the Chicago Architectural Biennale and Milan Design Week.
