Andres Duany is a founding principal at Duany Plater - Zyberk & Company
(DPZ). DPZ is widely recognized as a leader of the New Urbanism, an
international movement that seeks to end suburban sprawl and urban
disinvestment. In the years since 1980, when the firm first received
recognition for the design of Seaside, Florida, DPZ has completed designs
for close to 300 new towns, regional plans, and community revitalization
projects. The firm's method of integrating planning codes is currently being
applied to areas ranging from 10 to over 500,000 acres throughout North
America, Europe, and Asia. DPZ has received numerous awards, including
several Progressive Architecture, Architectural Record, and AIA Awards.
Seaside has been documented in over 800 articles and books and was
named the best new town design of the decade by TIME Magazine in 1992.
The projects of Duany Plater - Zyberk & Company have focused international
attention on urbanism and its postwar decline. Andres Duany is well -known
for his lectures and his books, The New Civic Art and Suburban Nation: The
Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream. He is a founder of
the Congress for the New Urbanism, where he continues to serve on the
Board of Directors. Established in 1993 with the mission of reforming urban
growth patterns, the Congress has been characterized by the New York
Times as "the most important collective architectural movement in the
United States in the past fifty years."
