Our first stop was a ride on Skyline with Jon Nouchi from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services sharing all the complexities of bringing this infrastructure giant to fruition through community engagement, history and culture of place, and costs of constructing in our remote location. While riding, we had a chance to share the Chief Architect initiative with Andrew Sugg, Chief of Staff to Mayor Rick Blangiardi. We also discussed how architects can contribute to achieving Oahu's climate action goals with Matthew Gonser and Ben Sullivan from the City and County of Honolulu Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency.

How many styles of architecture are in downtown Honolulu? Many more than I ever imagined! Michael and I recently took the AIA Honolulu Architectural Walking Tour of Downtown Honolulu. It’s a 10/10! Highly recommend! We were both amazed with the vast variety of architectural styles that make up downtown Honolulu. Working, living, driving, and dining there day in and day out, it had begun to blend together in our mind’s eye. But when you stop, step back, take a breath, and really focus, I reckon you’d be amazed, too. Here are but a few of the styles that our tour guide Ernie Endrina pointed out in the 90 minute walking tour. 🏛️ Spanish Revival Mediterranean 🏛️ Art Deco 🏛️ Colonial 🏛️ Gothic Revival 🏛️ Spanish Mission Revival 🏛️ Greek Revival 🏛️ Hawaiian 🏛️ Renaissance Revival 🏛️ American Florentine with French touches 🏛️ Medieval 🏛️ Contemporary 🏛️ Plantation 🏛️ Mid-Century Modern I am sure there are others I missed, but you get the picture. Suffice to say, downtown Honolulu is steeped in so many beautiful styles of architecture! Again, I highly recommend the AIA walking tour, but if tours aren’t your thing, just take a slow stroll and soak it all in!
