Summary: |
From the simple thatched hale to the nation's only royal palace... from humble plantation cottages to
fabulous estates and resort hotels, Hawaii's architecture is as diverse as its multi-ethnic population...
More than 150 of the islands' architecturally and historically significant structure--including civic,
commercial, ecclesiastical and residential buildings on six major islands--are showcased in this volume.
Lavishly illustrated with 245 color photographs, this book is a chronological survey of architecture
in the Hawaiian islands. Insightful text and building descriptions are presented in the context of Hawaii's
colorful political, economic, and social history. Also included are selected biographies, appendices
and an index of architects, buildings and styles... Architects include Julia Morgan, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue,
Oliver G. Traphagen, Ralph Adams Cram, and L. M. Pei along with local architects C.W. Dickey,
Hart Wood, Alfred Preis, Vladimir Ossipoff, George 'Pete' Wimberly, Francis Oda. CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
