Beschreibung

When Hawaii became the 50th state of the USA in 1959, a period of intense construction and a growing tourism industry followed. Luckily, this coincided with the most creative phase of the mid-century modern masters, who designed buildings that took full advantage of the archipelago's unique, consistently pleasant climate.

Tropical modernism is therefore one of the main focuses of this guide, which presents the architectural history of Honolulu - Hawaii's capital city on the island of Oahu - through almost 150 buildings. The selection ranges from vernacular architecture and nineteenth-century churches right through to war memorials, iconic 1960s hotels, and recent exclusive and inclusive condominiums and apartments, concluding with evolved proposals addressing the climate and housing crisis.

Compiled by four leading experts and longtime Honolulu residents, this book is more than just a reliable travel companion. With extensive map material, a large number of archive images and color photos, in-depth essays, and extra YouTube viewing material, it also invites armchair travelers to dream of Hawaii.

Über den Autor

A lifetime resident of Honolulu since his birth there, DeSoto Brown's lifetime has covered the city's growth from containing only two structures of almost 10 stories in height to today's total of over 400 high-rise towers. Always fascinated by history and feeling a need to preserve objects of the past, he's assembled a large collection of Hawaii-related paper ephemera mostly connected to advertising and promotion for tourism. He's worked at the Bernice P.Bishop Museum in Honolulu for over 40 years in its Archives and Library. Among his publications as a sole author or contributor are "Hawaii Recalls" (1982), "Aloha Waikiki" (1985), "Hawaii Goes To War" (1989), "Finding Paradise" (2002), "The Art of the Aloha Shirt" (2002), "Hawaii At Play" (2003), "Surfing: Images from Bishop Museum Archives" (2006), and "Art Deco in Hawaii" (2014).
