Fall 2010
With forms inspired by the Native Hawaiian ahupua‘a land system and its ‘aina (land), wai (water) and mea ‘ōiwi (indigenous plants), MGA’s design intent for the new Waikiki Shopping Plaza Expansion was to reflect a modern interpretation of a natural environment as a poetic response to the urban character of modern-day Waikiki.
