Peter Feigenbaum is an architect and artist living in New York City. He was born in Massachusetts in the 1980s and holds a Master of Architecture from Columbia and a Bachelor of Arts from Yale. A licensed architect in New York State, he has worked at New York firms including Arquitectonica, Gensler, Ennead Architects, SOM, and NA-DA on projects ranging from apartment renovations in Brooklyn to multi-acre master plans in Abu Dhabi. As a rendering consultant, he has worked for clients including HWKN, Handel Architects, Pace Gallery, Vice, Droga5, Relevent, The Municipal Art Society of New York, H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture, and Twining Properties.

Alongside his architecture work, Feigenbaum has pursued installation-based art projects involving photorealistic miniature sets depicting the decaying urban condition of 1980s-era New York. His most recent project tackled the decadent imagery of foreclosed Florida McMansions during the late-2000s recession. He has shown at New York galleries including ISE Cultural Foundation, Krause, Open Source, Like the Spice, and Heist. Internationally, he has shown at Galerie Open in Berlin and Lille 3000 in Lille, France. He was part of the “Otherworldly” group show in 2011 at The Museum of Arts and Design in New York alongside James Casebere and Lori Nix and has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, The L Magazine, and Paper. His work is also part of the West Collection in Pennsylvania. As an extension of his original miniature sets, he recently created a series of mass-produced multiples for Fuse Works that have been displayed at New Museum, the MoMA PS1 New York Art Book Fair, and Front Room Gallery.
Feigenbaum is also active as a guitarist and producer. His psychedelic rock band Dinowalrus has released four albums on labels including Kanine, Old Flame, Heist or Hit (UK), and Moorworks (Japan). Formed in 2008, the band has been featured on Pitchfork, NME, The Village Voice, NPR, and Stereogum and has performed at venues ranging from The Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall to underground loft spaces including Silent Barn and Death By Audio. Feigenbaum also briefly played guitar for New Jersey punk rockers Titus Andronicus, touring America and England with appearances at the legendary Reading and Leeds Festivals.
