Lisa Germany
Lisa Germany is a writer and editor. Although she received her Masters degree with a thesis on Fra Angelico, modern architecture became her primary interest.
Following several years as architecture critic for Texas Monthly and a journalist covering architects for dozens of shelter magazines, she began to write more seriously about architecture. She authored monographs on modernist Harwell Hamilton Harris and maverick Malibu architect Harry Gesner, as well as a study of the unique and storied homes of Texas. For The New York Times she critiqued buildings by Ricardo Legorreta and Rafael Moneo, among others. She has edited many books, including Michelle Dunkerly’s chronicle of the work of modernist Hank Schubart. She spends her summers in the panhandle of Nebraska volunteering at the Sandhills Institute, an artists’ residency founded by Mel Ziegler, which fosters the civic engagement of artists with the rural community.
