Duany and Plater-Zyberk, who is the Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Miami, are being honored with the award for both their architecture and urban planning. Duany and Plater-Zyberk are widely recognized as leaders of New Urbanism, a movement that seeks to end suburban sprawl and urban disinvestment. The movement marked a turning point from the segregated planning and architecture of post-war America; instead, it advocates and promotes the universal and time-tested principles of traditional planning. With their firm and leading numerous new urbanist collaborators, Duany and Plater-Zyberk have completed designs for almost 300 new towns, regional plans, and community revitalization projects. This work and a continuous agenda of lecturing and publication have exerted a significant influence on the practice and direction of urban planning and development worldwide. DPZ was ... instrumental in the creation of the Traditional Neighborhood Development Ordinance (TND), a prescription for pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use, compact urban growth, which has been incorporated into the zoning codes of municipalities across the country.

An exhibit at the University of Nebraska at Omaha doesn't emphasize the end result of working with clay. Instead, "Clay as the Human Condition" focuses on the process and how the artists use an inanimate substance to reflect how they approach life and how life affects them. Featured are artists with Iowa ties. ALISA HOLEN, a visiting ceramics professor at the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History, is the exhibit's curator. She chose to display three artists with ties to the Hawkeye State. Each used clay to explore different areas of life and its challenges.
