Prototropic 0.1: Honolulu and Rio

K. That is a challenge.
If you want Hawaii to be claiming a distinctive position in the community of cities, it is a dichotomy. Meaning
that you want to be considered as another kind of a city, say like Singapore, that we are a major economic
destination, etc. Whoever wants to deal with that city, whether planners, architects, or policy makers… how
to make Honolulu distinctive and contemporary, and really understand city form, social equality, all that, no,
that is missing in the conversation… not only missing in the conversation, but missing in the production.
D. I think Hawaii should have a more diverse public image then the one used only for tourism.
Mahalo.
K. Thank you.
I think the whole question of tropical city is
key… because the kind of model of the city
being reproduced in Honolulu, have been built
elsewhere...
