Bauer’s Breakers Breaks Boni (Humane Architecture)
Channel: ThinkTech Hawaii
Date: 2024-02-02

Breakers Hotel’s Impactful Influence.  The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.  

Last week's 'life' show celebrated the Breakers Hotel and CoHost DeSoto Brown's simultaneous 70th birthdays on site in Breakers, indulging in its timeless atmosphere. This week’s follow up show looks at the impact Breaker’s has on its immediate and wider geographical as well as thematical context. Shown and shared are: the Aloha Hollywood Movie filmed within, the neighboring Arnold’s Tiki Bar, revisiting the HHome for DHHL as positive impacts; as well as more questionable recent redevelopments as the rebranding of the affordable Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel into the chic upscale Wayfinder Hotel; and unfortunate redevelopments from the early 2000’s 'Beach Walk' Lewers Street; and the related most recent redevelopment of Niketown, wrapping up as always positively with emerging ideas for a substantially rejuvenated urban fabric.
