    Brandon Burns

    AIA
    Associate Principal + Studio Director
    Fort Worth
    University of Texas at Austin – School of Architecture

    Brandon serves as the Studio Director for GFF’s Fort Worth office, bringing over two decades of experience in the design and delivery of diverse, complex project types including multifamily, commercial, hospitality, civic, and senior housing. With a career defined by operational leadership and a deep commitment to the civic fabric of his projects, he specializes in bridging the gap between design intent and the realities of construction.

    Throughout his career, Brandon has been a prominent advocate for the architectural profession, serving as the 2023 President of the AIA Fort Worth chapter and holding committee roles with the Texas Society of Architects and the Greater Fort Worth Real Estate Council. He is deeply invested in the Fort Worth community, contributing his time to the Downtown Design Review Board, the Public Art Commission, Cultural District Alliance, and Community Design Fort Worth.

    Brandon aspires to create architecture that belongs to its site and strengthens the community, believing that by listening to all project stakeholders, from users to craftsmen, he can discover solutions that uplift, heal, and inspire. Outside of the studio, he is an avid traveler with his wife and two boys, photographer, and he was recently selected to create a public art installation for Fort Worth’s Westhaven Park.

    Brandon earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture.
