About the Speaker

Arthur Marcus is an architect, photographer and historic preservation consultant living in South Florida with his own architectural studio since 1992. A native of Philadelphia, he graduated with a BA in Political Science from Temple University and a Master of Architecture from Carnegie Mellon University.

Arthur has had a long history of civic activism in South Beach, serving many years on the MDPL Board as well as being Chair of the then combined CMB Historic Preservation & Design Review Boards. He currently serves as Vice Chair of the City of Fort Lauderdale Historic Preservation Board.

Architecture and Photography have been life long passions from an early age. One has certainly informed the other over the course and geography of his career. “At Central High in Philadelphia I had an inspiring English professor who would have the class initially write a one page story. Then we would summarize that page into one paragraph. Then the assignment would be to summarize that paragraph into one sentence. Finally that sentence was to be condensed into a single word. This is what I strive towards in my photography.”
