For more than 20 years, noted architects Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk have spearheaded the nation's most exciting movement in urban planning. Known as New Urbanism, the movement's principles promote the revival of traditional ideas for livable, human scale communities while skillfully designing the future. DPZ’s projects have received numerous awards, including two National AIA Awards and two Governor’s Urban Design Awards for Excellence. The firm’s earliest project, Seaside (Florida), was the first authentic new town to be built successfully in the United States in over fifty years. Time Magazine selected Seaside as one of the 10 “Best of the Decade” achievements in the field of design. The firm has been featured in other national media such as NBC News and ABC News, as well as Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the New Yorker.
