DUANY PLATER-ZYBERK AND COMPANY (DPZ)
Andres Duany is a smug SOB.
Arrogant too.
But when you give birth to a movement, we suppose you're allowed to let your ego get in the way of things.
Duany's also a rock star when it comes to entertaining audiences -- both experts and lay persons -- with anecdotes and a comic sense of timing that turns potentially bland planning into a life process seemingly as essential as breathing.
Lizz Plater-Zyberk is the more softly spoken of the pair.
But she's brilliant and somehow manages to lead the University of Miami's School of Architecture as dean for nearly a decade, while also continuing to develop the New Urbanism.
Together, the pair created Miami 21 -- the form based code adopted by our folkloric hometown.
