All Design should be about pushing boundaries though.



FBD,


My wife and I just remodeled the kitchen, 2nd time in 15 years. For design elements, I was shooting for this go-around being centered on more timeless, traditional designs in an attempt to make this the last time we go through this trouble. But, as I was explaining my goals of not getting caught up in trends and wanting this to last a lifetime(design-wise), a friend of mine replied “Good luck with that”. All that is to say that you are likely right with your above statement.

Cool Joe!
Going through the more formal time in my Design education, I discovered that it turns out I'm a big 'Form follows Function' kinda guy.


For our brethren who've been less fortunate:

Over the years though, my tastes have changed and I'm finding myself liking decoration and ostentation more and more. Haven't quite reached the full Baroque yet, but you never know!
Cheers,
F.

Adam,


The Schmidt-Curley designed course, "The Vintage" at Mission Hills Haikou in China has some geometric features that are used throughout the course.


Below are some photos of the course by Tom Breazeale

That second picture is a nice Biarritz, is it a par 3?

Trey Kemp of Colligan Golf used a number of 90 corners of greens at Rockwood in Fort Worth and I believe Stevens Park in Dallas.
Squaw Creek also just outside of West Fort Worth, I beleive the renovation was about the sametime  as Rockwood.
