Deborah Weintraub's work over nearly two decades with the Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering displays her commitment to maintaining public facilities and respecting Los Angeles' arid environment. Much of her career has been focused on issues surrounding the Los Angeles River and her participation has been critical in the development of the Los Angeles River Masterplan, the LA River ARBOR Plan, as well as in efforts to create nature focused bike paths along the river.

Today’s guest is Deborah Weintraub, Chief Deputy City Engineer for the Bureau of Engineering in the City of Los Angeles’ Department of Public Works.  Deborah is the first architect and woman to hold the position, and in this role has overseen projects like the LA River Revitalization Master Plan and the 6th Street Viaduct, which is currently under construction.  Through this work, she had made major contributions to the city and its future, applying her architectural background and training to engineering projects large and small.  Her impact on the city we know today, and the city we will experience 30 years from now, is undeniable.  Prior to her time with the City, Deborah also worked in private practice in New York and California, and she gained expertise in sustainability through her work with the Canadian Consulate and Southern California Edison.  Deborah’s career is fascinating because of these varied experiences she's had as an architect, and in each position, she really embraced the impact she could have.Links to other projects Deborah mentions:Taylor Yard / G2 ParcelMetabolic Studio: Bending the RiverSPFA: Rumblefish BridgeNorth Atwater BridgeLA River Bike Path

Interview with Deborah Weintraub – XX|LA Episode 011

As Chief Architect and Chief Deputy City Engineer presiding over a group of 800+ architects and engineers, Deborah Weintraub has a big picture of LA infrastructure in mind when it comes to the river. She also has a fair amount of historical perspective, having overseen the implementation of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan after it first issued RFPs in December of 2004. Additionally, she oversaw the design and construction of the river's new 6th Street Viaduct by Michael Maltzan's office, which recently broke ground. Nicholas Korody spoke with Deborah about her role as the most senior architect in the Bureau of Engineering, the river's urbanistic potential (and pitfalls) as a gigantic piece of infrastructure, and Gehry's role beyond hydrology.
