Howard Barnstone (1923–1987) was an American architect, teacher and writer based in Houston.[1] He joined the University of Houston faculty in 1948 and became a professor of architecture in 1958.[2]
Barnstone's early houses drew on the work of Philip Johnson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. His practice later incorporated more varied forms and exposed concrete structures. His partnerships included work with Preston Bolton and, from 1966 to 1969, Eugene Aubry. His projects included houses, the Rice Museum and Media Center, and the Rothko Chapel.[2]
He also wrote The Galveston That Was (1966) and The Architecture of John F. Staub, Houston and the South (1979), documenting architecture in Texas.[2]
