About

Peter Marino, FAIA, is the principal and founder of Peter Marino Architect PLLC, a New York–based architecture firm established in 1978. One of the first architects to understand the possibilities of the changing landscape of art patronage, Marino began to incorporate site-specific art commissions in his design projects in the early stages of his career.

Marino holds an architecture degree from Cornell University and began his career at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, George Nelson, and I. M. Pei/Cossutta & Ponte. He has designed and curated shows of his own art collection as well as permanent and temporary exhibitions for museums and galleries worldwide. Inspired by his passion for bronze and the enduring yet ever-changing nature of the medium, beginning in 2012 Marino combined artistic and architectural influences to create a collection of sculpted bronze boxes.

Marino has received numerous prestigious industry awards, including twenty-two citations from the American Institute of Architects for architectural design excellence. In 2017 the French Ministry of Culture named him Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
