Edit rialOn June 25th 2011, it was made official. Barbados’ five year pursuit to

have its Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison inscribed as a World Heritage site was successful. Word of this came from the World Heritage Committee in Paris, France. The news was overwhelming and the members of the World Heritage Task Force and other stakeholders such as the Barbados National Trust must be congratulated for their efforts.

Achieving this inscription is a significant milestone in fomenting a country-wide “culture of preservation.” Traditionally preservation of built heritage has been pioneered by corporate entities and government (in the case of George Washington House) but the general populace must now be encouraged to understand and appreciate the importance of preserving these aspects of aspects of the nation’s cultural heritage.

After all, there are many benefits to be derived from this inscription— include cultural, economic, social, developmental, environmental and educational.

Historic preservation therefore holds many benefits for the community and it represents a sound investment in the present and future. Indeed it has been shown in a number of economic development studies that historic preservation is an important tool for creating jobs, increasing household income and increasing tourism dollars in the country.

In Barbados entrepreneurs must seize the opportunity of the Garrison’s World Heritage Inscription. Now that the country’s tourism profile has been enhanced, the country can expect to see an increase in visitor arrivals since Barbados has been at the centre of colonial expansion, trade and warfare for almost 300 years.

However, a great deal of work remains to be done. While heritage tourism is certainly a growing segment of international tourism, the majority of tourists can be said to be “culture proof.” More often than not they are not seeking exotic heritage, but relaxation, warm weather and various forms of hedonistic activity. Beach holidays are still highly popular with tour operators, while theme parks as a destination and a model of tourism development are flourishing.

Therefore local stakeholders must engage in highly competitive and sophisticated marketing campaigns in order for the World Heritage inscription to actualise its potential. There needs to be a vast culture campaign with a sound emphasis on destination branding.

Let us all embrace our heritage!

The Inscription of Historic Bridgetown And Its Garrison Is Just the Beginning:

“One Scratch from that

claw...and the tree was gone”

The images show excavators clearing an unused land, for the preparation of a new golf course. Removing trees safely,

without causing personal injury or property damage, requires expertise and specialized equipment.

Limbs and branches are removed first, fol-lowed by cutting the main tree trunk to

ground level. One scratch from that claw and the tree was gone. Tree

trunks of significant height and width are removed in

sections

Everyone enjoys attractively designed residential areas, public parks and playgrounds, college campuses, shopping centers, golf courses, parkways, and industrial parks. Land-scape architects design these areas so that they are not only functional, but also beautiful, and compatible with the natural environment. They plan the location of buildings, roads, and walkways, and the arrangement of flowers, shrubs, and trees. In planning a site, land-scape architects first consider the nature and purpose of the project and the funds avail-able. They analyze the natural elements of the site, such as the climate, soil, slope of the land, drainage, and vegetation; observe where sunlight falls on the site at different times of the day and examine the site from various angles; and assess the effect of existing buildings, roads, walkways, and utilities on the project. After studying and analyzing the site, landscape ar-chitects prepare a preliminary design. To account for the needs of the client as well as the conditions at the site, they frequently make changes before a final design is approved. They also take into account any local, State, or Federal regulations, such as those protecting wetlands or historic resources.

Golf course architecture is one of the world’s most expansive but least recog-nized art forms. Yet this curiously obscure profession can help shed light on main-stream art, sociology, and even human nature itself, since the golf designer, more than any other artist, tries to re-produce the primeval human vision of an earthly paradise.

Yet even this most unfashionable of arts was swept in the middle of the last century by the same Bauhaus-derived tastes that made post-WWII modernist buildings so tedious. Only recently has golf course architecture begun to revive the styles and values of its golden age in the 1920s.

Hidden in plain sight, golf courses are among the few works of art readily visible from airliners. (A golf architecture aficionado can often identify a course’s designer from 35,000 feet.) Assuming an average of a quarter square mile apiece, America’s 15,000 golf courses cover almost as much land as Delaware and Rhode Island combined.

“I took one swing and spent three hours looking for my ball”

The most important consideration is whether your site is suitable and will

provide the turf with the necessary conditions for healthy growth. These include good full sun, air movement, well drained and a water source

able to adequately irrigate the grass. Another issue is whether you have the time required to maintain it or the money to hire a quali-

fied person for this task. If any of the above questions is nega-tive, there is still a solution in artificial turf golf greens.

Some golfers are fortunate to have enough space to build a whole green complex with bunkers or maybe even

a complete hole with a tee deck and fairway. All of those dreams are explored in this site, including

where to find the necessary accessories such as cups and flags, bunker rakes or proper

mowers.

Golf architecture philosophy isn’t terribly elaborate compared to the thickets of theory that entangle most museum arts, but one thing all golf designers as-sert is that their courses look “natural.” Growing up in arid Southern Califor-nia, however, where the indigenous landscape is impenetrable hillsides of gray-brown sagebrush, I never quite understood what was so natural about fairways of verdant, closely-mown grass, but I loved them all the same.

Research since the early 80s shows that humans tend to have two favorite landscapes. I took one swing and spent three hours looking for my ball. One is wherever they lived during their adolescence, but the nearly uni-versal favorite among children before they imprint upon their local look is grassy parkland, and that fondness survives into adulthood.
