<br />CHRIS GIAtdi INI, LA 4287
<br />Project Manager
<br />Chris is a California registered landscape architect and award-winning project
<br />manager with DEA. He has been involved in landscape architecture for 22
<br />years responsible for design, management and construction observation
<br />on numerous projects, including design and planning for parks, trails, sports
<br />facilities, streetscapes, commercial, industrial, retail facilities, developer housing,
<br />and memorial developments.
<br />Experience:
<br />Salt Lake Park, Huntington Park, California
<br />As project manager, Chris provided conceptual and final design plans for the
<br />improvements to Salt Lake Park, The design included a new walking path,
<br />fitness stations, modifications to picnic areas and seating, new landscaping,
<br />in addition to a full irrigation retrofit. The park was funded by various grants
<br />and hence the use of sustainable products and techniques will be implemented
<br />throughout the park.
<br />Gene Autry Trail Gateway, Palm Springs, California
<br />As lead landscape architect, Chris oversaw the landscape architectural and civil
<br />engineering design efforts for the Gene Autry Trail Streetscape and Gateway
<br />Park project. The project consists of landscape improvements to the parkways
<br />and median on Gene Autry Trail north of Vista Chino as well as the development
<br />of a 1.7 -acre passive park. Chris was also involved in various construction 17
<br />management tasks.
<br />Tracks at Brea - Segment 4, Brea, California
<br />1 Chris served as assistant landscape architect for the conceptual master plan for
<br />a nearly one mile long multi -modal trail between State College and Birch Street.
<br />i The trail is located within an abandoned rail corridor and consists of separate
<br />paths for both pedestrians and bicyclists. The meandering path is approximately
<br />i 20' in width, allowing 10' for each use. This segment of trail passes under the SR
<br />i 57 freeway and hence provides for unique and creative solutions incorporating
<br />'Art in Public Places' - an important component of any project in Brea. The
<br />corridor will include groves of trees, meandering areas of California Poppy
<br />and Lupine, children's play areas, seating and fitness areas, bike skills zones,
<br />i interactive elements, butterfly gardens, site furnishings, lighting, and custom
<br />i entry signage. The proposed artistic elements will consider the existing 'poppy'
<br />i imagery on the highway retaining walls. The proposed plant palette will consider
<br />i 'water efficient' landscaping and 'smart' irrigation systems to ensure sustainable
<br />solutions.
<br />Whitewater Park, Cathedral City, California
<br />Mr. Giannini led the landscape architectural efforts for a proposed 5 -acre
<br />park in Cathedral City. Working closely with the city appointed grant writer,
<br />DEA developed a plan for active recreation facilities while considering the
<br />incorporation of sustainable features such as recycled materials, the use of
<br />decorative rock and decomposed granite, 'Smart Irrigation' techniques, and
<br />drought tolerant plant material. The park featured playground and picnic areas,
<br />walking paths, a ball field with soccer field overlay, parking, plaza space and
<br />picnic shelters, in addition to fitness stations, a restroom, lighting and signage.
