...Andrews that Bobby Jones first met the Scotchman Alister Mackenzie, whom he later hired to design the Augusta National. Mackenzie was an outstanding British golf course architect who designed Cypress Point and shared Jones's views on the game...
Come January of 1977, however, it was a different story. Carter turned to a veteran--indeed an architect of the Great Society--Joseph A. Califano Jr., for his Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Califano, a graduate of Holy Cross College and Harvard Law School, was known as a policymaker, a man who steered his own course.

Surely, if there is a "growth area" in architecture today it is urban design, which is attaining increasing significance in the planning and landscape architecture professions as well...
