Episode 020: How Can Architects Fight for Racial Equality?
Barnes’ research and design practice investigate the connection between architecture and identity, examining architecture’s social and political agency through historical research and design speculation. Learning from historical data and perspectives from within architecture as well as cultural and ethnic studies, he examines how the built environment influences the social and cultural experience. Born in Chicago, IL Germane Barnes received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Master of Architecture from Woodbury University where he was awarded the Thesis Prize for his project Symbiotic Territories: Architectural Investigations of Race, Identity, and Community. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor and the Director of The Community Housing & Identity Lab (CHIL) at the University of Miami School of Architecture, a testing ground for the physical and theoretical investigations of architecture’s social and political resiliency.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In the episode, we talk about his background, where he comes from, and what experiences he had that made him think architecture was the best career to pursue him. He tells me about the time he got arrested in his very own front porch, because he "fit a description of a black guy that had stolen some shoes," and he also tells me about the constant discrimination that he was faced with by his very own professors at his undergraduate school. We then talk about his trip to Cape Town, South Africa, where he did pro-bono work for low-income families, which changed his whole understanding of architecture completely. We then talk about where he is at now, fighting against racial discrimination in the most violent neighborhoods of Miami, Florida.

In this episode, we talk about teaching and how he unexpectedly got his first teaching job after graduation. We talk about his time at Cincinnati University and at SCI-Arc, where he got a Masters in Design Theory and Pedagogy and how that degree helped him understand how to be a better design professor. We have a conversation about PhDs vs Masters, and how the role of the professor has been changing with time. He talks about his interests that are not architecture-per se, but more related to culture and how people get information and take a position through the Internet.⁠⠀⁠⠀
ABOUT RYAN: Ryan Scavnicky is the founder of Extra Office. His work is published in ArchDaily, Architect's Newspaper, SCI-Arc Offramp, UCLA POOL, Archinect, and Hyperallergic.

>>> EPISODE 10 / A Professor's Perspective on the Educational System / Michael Young ()⁠⠀⁠⠀
In this episode, Michael and I talk about how important it is for design schools to primarily teach design, because all the projects talk about the real world, even if sometimes we believe that schools don’t teach us enough. We talk about his experience as a student, and how he believes that waiting 2-4 years before going to graduate school is the most beneficial decision. He talks about how his teaching experience has given him the ability to continue learning, year after year, from his students, and how he applies that knowledge into his firm Young & Ayata. We talk a little bit about exactly when he realized that he wanted to create his own studio and why it was so important for him to have a work partner, whom he could trust in order to build something together.⁠⠀⁠⠀
ABOUT MICHAEL: Michael Young is an architect and an educator practicing in New York City where he is a founding partner of the architecture and urban design practice Young & Ayata. Michael is an Assistant Professor at The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at the Cooper Union. He is the recipient of the 2019-20 Rome Prize from the American Academy of Rome.. ⁠⠀
