Moser-9 HawaiiConventionCenter



The Hawaiian Convention Center
Honolulu Hawaii



       The Hawaiian convention center is a building which stands out from its peers near the Waikiki strip.  No other buildings come to mind when I think of “architecture” in downtown Hawaii (other than a few of my favorite bars). 

       

      For the most part, buildings in Honolulu and Waikiki are fairly geometrically common in design, most being hotel or business buildings (to include bars).  This building is a common reference point because its uncommon appearance is noteworthy to tourist and locals alike.  Seeing this building during the day is alright, but it doesn’t compare to the spectacular sight at night when this building, enveloped in glass, is lit up.  The design reminds me of the sails and the wind on the ocean, which of course fits its location.  This building has a modern twist yet still manages to keep a natural feel.  This a building which really does seem to be tailored for Oahu.
