COMPUTER IMAGERY Golf Course
Architecture Through Innovation
The Existing
Scene
Mary Armstrong, LLC Manager of Armstrong Golf
Architects, LLC, has developed a system of software
based image editing to enable nondesigners to share in her vision of the changes proposed for
their course. As shown here for Spring Valley
Country Club in Sharon, MA, existing scenes are
scanned into the computer. Below, the proposed
changes are "sketched" on to the
digital photo.
The Designed
Improvements
The "Existing"
and "Proposed" digital photos
are then printed for review with the Greens
Committee or other authorizing entity.
Instructions shown on the photo clarify the
architect's intent for the contractor as well.
The Scene
After Construction
Aside from the
obvious benefits, this method allows the
architect to create a record of the design
without expensive topographic surveys and
engineering. Although it is not right for all
situations, it is a wonderful tool for projects
such as Bunker Renovations.
