Culture and Arts

The Hawai`i Convention Center program called for a design and construction of a building with a Hawaiian sense of place. The architects of the design/build team – Loschky, Marquardt and Nesholm; and Wimberly, Allison, Tong and Goo – gave special attention to the idea of relating the building to its Waikiki environment and Hawaii's history and culture.

The design was inspired by the following:

  • Native Hawaiian architectural design concepts and materials
  • Native plants important to the Hawaiian people
  • Natural water features such as streams, waterfalls and tidepools
  • Important historical figures and events from Hawaii’s past
Pre-function spaces and circulation areas were opened to natural ventilation and the outdoors. Generous landscape plantings were added as in integral part of the building. Locations were established for significant works of art that would become part of the building and offer an opportunity for the artists of Hawaii to give deeper meaning to Hawaii’s cultural values.

The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts appointed an Art Advisory Committee that was responsible for selecting artists to be commissioned for the $2 million art collection housed throughout the Center.
