Germane Barnes is a Chicago-born, Miami-based architect, designer, and founder of Studio Barnes, a research and design practice. He is an Associate Professor and 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’s research and design practice 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 international institutions including MoMA, SF MoMA, LACMA, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The National Museum of African American History and Culture. His work has been shown at MoMA’s ground-breaking exhibition “Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America,” as well as the Chicago Architectural Biennale and Milan Design Week. 

Germane has been featured in The New York Times and Architect Magazine. He was selected in the inaugural cohort of The Dorchester Industries Experimental Design Lab created by Theaster Gates and sponsored by Prada. Most recently, his project Griot was widely published as a participant in Biennale Architettura 2023, Laboratory of the Future. Germane was awarded the Wheelwright Prize from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the Rome Prize from the American Academy, and the Architectural League Prize. Germane and his team, including local member Dennis Chiessa and architect of record GFF, is currently working on the Fort Worth project Transform 1012, which is turning a former Ku Klux Klan auditorium into The Fred Rouse Center for Arts and Community Healing.
