Open contest at Stonehenge

Article Abstract:

An open competition is to be held for the design of visitor facilities at Stonehenge ancient monument in Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site and there will be strict controls on the design brief. Fifteen million pounds sterling is to be spent on providing a better setting for the monument. Salisbury District Council has refused outline planning permission for the scheme because of objections to alterations to local roads and questions over archaeological damage that could be caused by building works. It is expected the Department of the Environment will hold a public inquiry.

Teeing up for a growing market

Article Abstract:

Britain needs more golf facilities. A report from the British Institute of Golf Course Architects considers there is great demand for golf and that one course per 25,000 people should be the standard rather than the present one per 35,000. It estimates that Britain needs another 300 courses. The report also considers that 90% of the 1890 courses presently planned are on the wrong sites and in the wrong locations, although nearly half have received planning permission. However, about 85% of golf courses receiving planning permission are not developed.

Managing fine without you

Article Abstract:

The project management role for a building scheme is distinct from the traditional role of the architect. The architect's traditional role is as project administrator rather than project manager. Developers prefer to give responsibility for a building scheme to one individual. The Royal Institute of British Architects considers a project manager may be needed for large or complex projects. Few architects claim expertise as project managers and RIBA suggests that formal additional training may be needed.
