[quote user="Euclid"]In any case, what role did FIU play in the design and construction of this bridge? It was their bridge and they have a large role in the development of ABC practice of bridge construction. Did FIU design the bridge to appear as it did with the tower and false suspension stays being provided mainly as cosmetic and theatrical elements? [/quote] I can't say for sure as many links in following Request for Proposal are dead ends: <a href="https://facilities.fiu.edu/projects/BT_904/Request_for_Qualifications-Request_for_Proposals/a._FIU-DB-AD_2014-06-24_FINAL.pdf">https://facilities.fiu.edu/projects/BT_904/Request_for_Qualifications-Request_for_Proposals/a._FIU-DB-AD_2014-06-24_FINAL.pdf</a> It doesn't contain any drawing so I thing the bidders had to interpret the test. Quote: OWNER’S INTENT: The OWNER seeks America’s best designers and builders as members of a design-build team to design and build an innovative signature bridge that will become a respected and valued design landmark in Miami. It will serve as the critical element of a pedestrian-oriented shared-use corridor between FIU and Sweetwater, igniting the development of UniversityCity. We envision a wide pedestrian bridge (20’ minimum width to perhaps even more than 30’) that would serve not only as a means to cross from one side to the other, but would become a destination in its own right where community members might linger, gather, and create an urban social space -- a linear park. I think the design came from Figg. Regards, Volker
