At the forefront of the postwar phenomenon known as tropical modernism, Vladimir Ossipoff (1907-1998) won recognition as the "master of Hawaiian architecture.” Although he practiced at a time of rapid growth and social change in Hawaii, Ossipoff criticized large-scale development and advocated environmentally sensitive designs, developing a distinctive form of architecture appropriate to the lush topography, light, and microclimates of the Hawaiian islands. This book is the first to focus on Ossipoff’s career, presenting significant new material on the architect and situating him within the tropical modernist movement and the cultural context of the Pacific region. The authors discuss how Ossipoff synthesized Eastern and Western influences, including Japanese building techniques and modern architectural principles. In particular, they demonstrate that he drew inspiration from the interplay of indoor and outdoor space as advocated by such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, applying these to the concerns and vernacular traditions of the tropics. The result was a vibrant and glamorous architectural style, captured vividly in archival images and new photography. As the corporate projects and private residences that Ossipoff created for such clients as IBM, Punahou School, Linus Pauling, Jr., and Clare Boothe Luce surpass their fiftieth anniversaries, critical assessment of these structures, offered here by distinguished scholars in the field, will illuminate Ossipoff’s contribution to the universal challenge of making architecture that is delightfully particular to its place and durable over time.

This lavishly illustrated book traces the life and work of Hart Wood (1880–1957), from his beginnings in architectural offices in Denver and San Francisco to his arrival in Hawaii in 1919 as a partner of C. W. Dickey and eventual solo career in the Islands. An outspoken leader in the development of a Hawaiian style of architecture, Wood incorporated local building traditions and materials in many of his projects and was the first in Hawaii to blend Eastern and Western architectural forms in a conscious manner. Enchanted by Hawaii’s vivid beauty and its benevolent climate, exotic flora, and cosmopolitan culture, Wood sought to capture the aura of the Islands in his architectural designs. Hart Wood’s magnificent and graceful buildings remain critical to Hawaii’s architectural legacy more than fifty years after his death: the First Church of Christ Scientist on Punahou Street, the First Chinese Church on King Street, the S & G Gump Building on Kalakaua Avenue, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply Administration Building on Beretania Street, and the Alexander & Baldwin Building on Bishop Street, as well as numerous Wood residences throughout the city.

"Any serious observer of Hawaii's architecture will be struck by the frequent recurrence of one name: Charles Dickey. This prolific and multifaceted architect enjoyed a remarkably successful career. From the intimate tropical bungalows he designed in Waikiki to the large-scale commercial projects and schools that dominated his California years, Dickey's work exhibits both eclecticism and diversity. For many years the preeminent figure in Hawaii architecture, he is often identified with the development of a uniquely "Hawaiian style."" "The first individual raised in Hawaii to receive a classic architectural education in the U.S., Dickey joined the Honolulu firm of Clinton B. Ripley in 1896. In the years that followed, the Ripley-Dickey partnership played an enormous role in transforming both the burgeoning business district and the residential neighborhoods of the city. Working in a wide variety of architectural styles, the young Dickey reflected both his own historicist training and the diverse demands of his corporate clients in turn-of-the-century Honolulu. He also began to explore the vernacular traditions of Hawaiian architecture, traditions that would form the basis for his later work in Hawaii and become a signature of his style." "In 1905 Dickey relocated to Oakland, where, although he encountered keener competition than he had known in Honolulu, he enjoyed a successful practice for twenty years. Of particular interest are his experiments with California's Mission Style architecture and his innovative use of structural steel, which enhanced his reputation in the aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake. It was there, too, that he added Japanese architectural traditions to his increasing range of stylistic options. Upon his return to Honolulu in 1926, Dickey began to cultivate what he considered to be a uniquely Hawaiian style of architecture, a style that increasingly emphasized broad double-hipped roofs and open, spacious plans that were intimately linked to the surrounding tropical environment. In the late twenties and thirties, Dickey developed this style in a remarkable variety of building types, becoming the truly dominant architect of Honolulu." "The Architecture of Charles W. Dickey provides a convenient overview of much of Hawaii's architectural history. Robert Jay begins his study with a concise historical survey of nineteenth-century Hawaiian architecture; Dickey's own career takes the story from the mid-1890s to World War II, encompassing a period of enormous change in modern architecture; the conclusion highlights the significant architectural contributions of Dickey's contemporaries and of firms operating today. This work will be of interest to historians of American architecture, as well as specialists in American and Hawaiian studies. It will also appeal to those interested in the history of Honolulu's urban development, who will find that the spirit of Dickey's work survives even today."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
