Archi-pelago’s Cruelty / Cynicism of Constructive Criticism; Think Tech Hawaii’s Human[e] Architecture’s Increased Relevance in Freedom of Speech Fear Times (Humane Architecture). The host for this show was Martin Despang. The guests were Pedro A. Capriata Estrada and Jay Fidell.
The discussion was: The previous show to be continuously sharing Barcelona’s superiority in superb social housing announced long time guest / cohost Martin Anzellini starting to working for the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) in which consequence he decided to discontinue his participation in Think Tech Hawaii’s human[e]a architecture shows. While he will be missed, his decision being respected and HCDA urged to take fully advantage of Anzellini’s through the many shows he was part of well known wisdom this show sees this incident as a must to further discuss the upmost importance of constructive criticism in increasing times of perceived insecurity. It does it along a parallel in Civil Beat feature of the Office of Hawaiian Affair (OHA)’s as it seems ultimate push for hard scape and high-rise development of their Kaka’ako Makai as topic broadcast discussed for decades on Think Tech Hawaii and recently in an own show with many episodes with numerous guests. This episode uses this most current Civil Beat material as to discuss this most current status and critically reflect on the used terminology and methodology reminiscent of the ones of the adjacent Kaka’ako Makau developments by Howard Hughes and Kamehameha Schools. Feeding from the previous and from next week on to be continued learning curve suggestions from Barcelona’s both high rise (400 foot towers) and medium – density better practices the discussion urges OHA to cultivate these their creations along those lines and / or as prior brought to their as Kamehameha School’s attention Tropiceering propositions by the emerging Honolulu architectural talents which draws from the cultivated past of midcentury marvels which to these days are the most successful urban housing examples vs today’s uninterruptedly disappointing developments as in this show having to be looked at Kamehameha School’s proposed Waiakea high rise housing in their Our Kaka’Ako.
The takeaway was: Speaking up about the built environment in Honolulu and Hawaii has always been increasingly indispensable but is so much more important in this second time / term of Trumping.
