Barnes was among four finalists selected from more than 150 applicants, hailing from 45 countries. “The past year has shown the world that marginalized communities offer more than a cursory look, but a thorough excavation of their contributions and legacies,” Barnes says. “As a Black architect I have struggled with the absence of my identity in the profession, and there have been moments where I have questioned my talent and ideologies because they failed to gain recognition in prominent architecture circles. To be selected as the winner of this year’s Wheelwright Prize provides credibility that Blackness is a viable and critical discourse, and strengthens my resolve and confidence in my professional trajectory. My hope is that my win and the work that follows it will be a necessary accelerant to provide more opportunities and exposure to Black practitioners and researchers.”

The organisation was initially expecting 15,000 fans in the stands, but the government changed that two weeks ago. Because of the number of infections in Spain, the organisation was not even allowed to allow any fans. Spain however released the state of emergency and now there is still room for fans during the Grand Prix.
