Arquitectonica, the firm she co-founded in 1977 along with her husband, Andres Duany, received near-instant success when one of their local projects, Atlantis Condominiums, was featured prominently in the opening credits of “Miami Vice.” Since then, Plater-Zyberk has become a national leader in what is being called New Urbanism, the wide-spread movement to retrofit existing downtown areas into trendy living space. In the 1980s, Plater-Zyberk received international recognition as the designer of Seaside, Florida. Nearly, four decades later, she has completed designs for more than 200 new towns, regions, and community revitalization projects.
