About the Artist

Dirk J. Arnold holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan. He has never, however, practiced architecture. Instead, his professional background includes graphic design, technical communication, and multimedia development. Nearly 15 years after earning his degree, it occurred to him that the main reason he went to architecture school in the first place was because he enjoyed building models. Growing weary of sitting in front of a computer all day, he decided to spend more time in a hands-on pursuit, and Endangered Architecture was born.

About Endangered Architecture

In the early years of this new century, the modern buildings of the post-war era are over 50 years old. As the American cityscape becomes ever more generic, relatively new structures are torn down to make way for big-box retailers and strip malls. Existing structures are getting makeovers because the simple lines of the modern age now seem dated. Endangered Architecture seeks to preserve, in miniature, building facades and signs from various time periods.
