This film provides an inside look at the realization of the new Los Angeles Sixth Street Viaduct connecting Boyle Heights with the Downtown Arts District. Deborah Weintraub (AIA, LEED AP), Chief Deputy City Engineer at the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, recounts the history of the 1932 Merrill Butler-designed Sixth St. Viaduct and speaks about the competition brief for the design of the new bridge and its emphasis on the inclusion of places for community participation. Weintraub also talks about the importance of having an architect in the leadership of the design team. Michael Maltzan (FAIA, NCARB Certified), Design Principal of Michael Maltzan Architecture and Architect of the Sixth St Viaduct, reflects on the bridge and its relationship to the city as a whole. Maltzan describes the design team’s intention for the “ribbon of arches” to act as a vital work of civic infrastructure. The Sixth Street design team includes Michael Maltzan Architecture (Design Architect), HNTB (Engineer and Executive Architect), Hargreaves Associates (Landscape Architect), and AC Martin (Urban Planning).
