    Enduring Places: Traditional Architecture & Urbanism

    with Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk

    By ICAA

    April 30, 2024

    In November 2023, the ICAA hosted the national conference Enduring Places. For three days, 225 participants from around the country gathered in Charleston, South Carolina and engaged in a robust program of talks, panel discussions, working sessions, and tours focused on three themes: craftsmanship, preservation, and sustainability.

    The ICAA’s mission of recovering a building design language and its craft has been reinforced by the parallel focus on traditional urban design of the New Urbanism. New Urban communities have provided a welcoming context for traditional architecture, extending its influence beyond the individual building to the creation of a sense of place. This presentation will illustrate this mutual reinforcement, and its adaptation to contemporary concerns of sustainability and resilience.

    From April to June 2024, the ICAA will be releasing all of the recordings from Enduring Places. Parts I - VI are available now. Sign up for the ICAA's biweekly newsletter, World of Classicism, to be notified when other installments are released in the coming weeks.

    Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk is a founding principal of DPZ CoDesign, and the Malcolm Matheson Distinguished Professor of Architecture at the University of Miami where she directs the Master in Urban Design Program, after 18 years as dean of the School of Architecture. Plater-Zyberk is a founder of the Congress for the New Urbanism, an organization established in 1993 to promote walkable, resilient urban design. She is co-author of Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream and The New Civic Art: Elements of Town Planning. At DPZ, Plater-Zyberk has led and managed projects ranging from individual building design to new community design, community rebuilding, regional plans and zoning codes- -including Miami 21, the ground-breaking form-based code for the City of Miami, approved in 2010 and currently in use. Her work with partner Andrés Duany has been widely recognized by awards such as the Richard H. Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture and the APA National Planning Excellence Award for Best Practice for Miami 21. With degrees from Princeton University and the Yale School of Architecture, Plater-Zyberk lectures frequently and has been a visiting professor at a number of universities in the United States.
