Honolulu Oahu: Architectural Guide: Buildings in Hawaii's Capital - Paperback

Despang, Martin: - Climate and culture became the basis for Martin Despang's co-coaching (SoA architecture and TIM hospitality) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, based on critical practice (with his family firm Despang Architekten in Germany) and practical critique (as a weekly video journalist with ThinkTech Hawaii). He was born and raised in moderately-tempered Hanover, Germany, where he first studied architecture, followed by the more extreme-tempered prairie of the USA at the University of Nebraska, which then invited him back to teach. After this he continued to the hot arid desert at the University of Arizona and finally to the tropics at the University of Hawaii.Brown, Desoto: - 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).Chapman, William: - William Chapman is the former Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM). Educated at Columbia (M. S. in Historic Preservation) and at Oxford University (D. Phil. in Anthropology), Chapman is a frequent contributor to UNESCO and ICOMOS projects as well as serving as reviewer for numerous World Heritage nominations. He is a member of the ICOMOS History and Theory Committee, the Historic Town Committee, and the Vernacular Architecture Committee. His latest publication is Architectural Conservation in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands (Routledge 2024).
