I agree that Rosales is often wrongly reported as the architect on the Zakim bridge - he was still working for Wallace Floyd Associates at the time and not yet the principal of his own firm. One of Rosale's former bosses at Wallace Floyd went on record on an internet forum to specifically criticise Rosales' claims of responsibility - see <a href="http://www.infrastructurist.com/2009/08/21/calgary-getting-a-fancy-new-cigar-shaped-bridge-for-walkers-and-cyclists/#comment-6299" rel="nofollow">here</a>.The Happy Pontisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252272118786667592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470543006314152962.post-6558696112205944022011-04-21T02:12:34.784+01:002011-04-21T02:12:34.784+01:00Renowned?

The bridge ...Renowned? Zakim bridge?<br /><br />From wiki...<br /><br />The bridge concept was developed by Swiss civil engineer Christian Menn and its design was engineered by American civil engineer Ruchu Hsu with Parsons Brinckerhoff. Boston-based architect Miguel Rosales was the lead architect/urban designer and facilitated community participation during the design process. Neither Hsu nor Rosales served as the designer of record for the project. The engineer of record is HNTB/FIGG. The lead designer from HNTB was Theodore Zoli; and W. Denney Pate from FIGG.<br /><br /><br />His design kinda looks like this?<br /><br />http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/2009/03/bikes_pedestrians_get_new_brid.html<br /><br />Great work as usual HP.<br /><br />sStuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03403968800838792378noreply@blogger.com
