  William Halcrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir William Halcrow (July 1883 - 1958) was one of the most notable English civil engineers of the 20th century, particularly renowned for his expertise in the design of tunnels and for a host of wartime projects during the Second World War.
Halcrow was also instrumental in persuading the UK government to set up a hydraulics research laboratory at Wallingford in Oxfordshire, while his colleagues were designing railway tunnels at Woodhead (1954) and Potters Bar (1955), and starting work on the new Victoria Line underground line beneath central London.
Halcrow was knighted in 1944, and elected as President of the Institution of Civil Engineers the same year.

 Dartford Crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prior to the opening of the bridge in 1991, the crossing was usually referred to as the "Dartford Tunnel".
Southbound traffic uses the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, a four-lane cable-stayed bridge designed by Sir William Halcrow and Partners Ltd, while northbound traffic uses a pair of two-lane tunnels.
Before the bridge was built, the two tunnels carried traffic in opposite directions (and still do on occasions when the bridge has to be closed due to high winds).

It's a much colder piece, more about the visuals." Those visuals include filmed movement phrases (directed by video/filmmaker William Morrison) that echo and inform the onstage movement of Gingras, Gagnon and Chantal Deeble, as well as snippets of projected text devised by West Coast cyberlords Chris Halcrow and William Gibson.
At the heart of what Gingras calls "a truly integrated barrage" of information is a very '90s area of exploration: the ideas of contemporary displacement and progress.
Gibson and Halcrow were given a list of words like "refuge," "respite" and "sign." They "came back with elliptical poetry that acts as a kind of lateral travelogue," says Gingras.
