 Rodrigo
Santos is an innovative engineer who approaches any project from
many different angles while making the development of durable
and efficient structures his top priority. In 1977, he came to
the United States from his native Ecuador to study engineering
and soon earned his Masters in Civil Engineering from Stanford
University. He currently brings his 20 years of experience to
the development of mixed-use spaces, office complexes, apartment
buildings and hotels. He has collaborated with world-renowned
architectural firms Stanley Saitowitz, Ace Architects and Arquitectonica
on such acclaimed structures as the Mill Race Park in Columbus,
Indiana, the Dixie Jordan House in Oakland and the Alpine Drive
Residence in Beverly Hills.
 In
2000, Mayor Willie Brown appointed Rodrigo Santos to the San
Francisco Building Inspection Commission where he
served as the structural engineering chair. In 2004, newly elected
Mayor Gavin Newsom picked Rodrigo to helm the BIC as the body's
president. Click here

He has an M.S. in Structural Engineering from Stanford University
and over 20 years of experience planning structures that meet
the demands of the Bay Area's unique geography. Albert specializes
in technically challenging projects such as hospitals and schools
and he has been closely involved with the design of several facilities
at San Francisco Airport's new International Terminal. Albert
Urrutia was also part of the team behind several pieces of public
art that adorn some of San Francisco's most beloved landmarks
such as the "Sinking Ship" at the Yerba Buena Gardens,
the "Up-A-Tree" tree house at the Arboretum in Golden
