Germane Barnes was born and raised in the West Side of Chicago, IL.[3] He studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he received a Bachelor's of Science in Architecture. After graduation, he worked in an architecture practice in Cape Town, South Africa on pro-bono projects for underprivileged communities.[4] Upon return to the Unites States, he attended Graduate School and received a Master of Architecture degree from Woodbury University in Burbank,CA where he was awarded the Graduate Thesis Prize.[5]

Barnes received a research grant from the Graham Foundation in 2018 for this project proposal 'Sacred Stoops: Typological Studies of Black Congregational Spaces'.[7] Within this scholarship, he was able to analyze five American cities (Atlanta, Washington D.C., Chicago, Detroit, Houston) with the focus on architectural typologies in relationship to African-American culture.[8] In February 2021, his work was part of the MoMA Exhibition Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America. It was MoMA’s first architecture exhibition highlighting the synthesis between architecture and African-American cultures and communities.[9]
