My Role: Staff Architect for Backen Gillam Architects: i.e. Design Development and Construction Drawings.
Others on the Team: Design concept by Howard Backen.
About the Project: Simple construction: a massive cut into the hillside, trucked in pre-caste concrete units, backfill with several feet of soil, and stone-veneer the front. The pre-caste units are the standard units CalTrans utilizes for roadway bridges. It's a system that we picked from their supplier's catalog. Uncomplicated and easy to build.
