MASTER PLANNING:

Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ), Washington, D.C.

Andrés Duany is an architect and town planner whose work focuses on the creation of community. He and his wife, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, founded their practice in 1980. Their firm employs about 40 people and has offices in Miami, Charlotte, N.C., and Washington, D.C. Their work began with the design of Seaside, selected by Time magazine in 1989 as one of the ten "Best of the Decade" achievements in the field of design. Seaside's design began an ongoing debate on the alternatives to suburban sprawl. Since then, DPZ has completed more than 250 new and existing community plans in the United States and overseas. These projects have received numerous awards and widespread publication. They have also exerted a major influence on the practice and direction of neighborhood planning. Both partners teach traditional town planning at the University of Miami, where Plater-Zyberk is dean of the School of Architecture. They are founding members of the Congress for the New Urbanism. Michael Watkins, project manager for Warwick Grove, is the director of town planning in the Washington, D.C., office of DPZ. He has more than 20 years of experience in architecture and town planning and served as town architect for Kentlands, a 350-acre traditional neighborhood near Washington.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND DESIGN:

Michael Klemens, Ph.D. Ridgefield, C.T.
www.wcs.org
As founder and director of The Wildlife Conservation Society's Metropolitan Conservation Alliance and a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Bronx, N.Y., Michael Klemens develops innovative local environmental strategies that tackle ecosystem loss and urban sprawl. It is his belief that preserved habitat for wildlife is also beneficial to people. Clustered communities that recreate the ideals of small village living can connect to the open spaces that surround them to give wildlife a better chance to survive. As a private consultant, Klemens works to combat sprawl-jammed highways leading to more and more isolated cul-de-sacs. In place of these, he suggests communities thoughtfully situated according to large scale ecological plans. These allow species migration, preservation of significant flora, and natural flows of waterways to coexist with roads, houses and comfortable habitation by people. He works with developers to help them understand these large-scale patterns and collaborates on the creation of appropriate solutions.
