International projects offer broad possibilities for creative master planning. GLA's overseas master planning projects have ranged from resorts to residential compounds to university campuses. The large scale of these projects requires deep understanding of topography, local microclimates, and human perceptivity. These opportunities - beginning with a blank slate - require GLA's acceptance of broad responsibility for out clients' success. The lessons learned in our international practice translate to innovative and effective solutions within our domestic work as well.
