Abstract/Contents: | Discusses world-wide golf course construction. Explains that "during the boom times for U.S. [United States] golf course development in the early 1980s and late 1990s, most American architects stayed stateside primarily." Details various projects outside of America and potential challenges of working abroad. States that "virtually every major American architect has done at least a few projects outside the U.S., but some smaller firms have successfully supplemented their domestic design work by hammer out successful niches in specific regions of the world." Suggests that "American architects used to having all the equipment, machinery, supplies and skilled labor they need to build their creations are likely in for some shocks when they go abroad." |
