How can we approach revitalizing cities without losing their identity? In this episode, Mark R. LePage sits down with Juan Mullerat, Founding Principal of Plusurbia Design in Miami. Juan brings more than 25 years of experience in urban design, planning, and sustainable growth.
Juan explains how every city has its own DNA, shaped by history, culture, infrastructure, and the people who live there. He shares how thoughtful revitalization starts by understanding those layers before introducing change. Using real-world examples, Juan explores public engagement, transit-oriented development, and the role of good planning in creating stronger communities.
Juan challenges architects to think beyond individual buildings and consider how their work contributes to the larger city. He explains why listening and communication are essential tools for architects who want to advocate for better places. Juan also shares why caring for existing clients may be one of the best ways to build a stronger architecture firm.
