One of the things I'm thinking about in my own design work is the concept of "style". Styles are often desirable, as they create an identity for a designer's work and, in terms of business development, they define a particular product type.
Given that most golf course designs are generally a collaborative effort between the architect, the client, and a multitude of other professionals, it can be more or less difficult for an architect to hang on to stylistic preferences amid the wear and tear of the collaborative process.
On the other hand, an architect may have an interest in varying their work as much as possible - choosing to avoid any particular visual aesthetic, formula or anything which might lend itself to the identification of a particular 'style'.
• Which architects have/had the most identifiable 'styles'?
• Which have/had the least?
