Beachy Brutes (Humane Architecture)
Channel: ThinkTech Hawaii
Date: 2019-01-09

How concrete architecture becomes increasingly tropical.  Timothy Schuler’s Flux Magazine article “Brutes on the Beach” and the related show with him, DeSoto Brown, Martin Despang furthers a discourse with DeSoto Brown [last week’s show], this being Martin Despang’s reflection on it. The architectural era of tropical brutalism on the Hawaiian Island being up for preservation [them nearing being 50 years old] lacks public appreciation. The movement of Hawaii Tropical Brutalism therefore deserves retrospective reflection and proactive reconsideration.

The hosts for this episode are Martin Despang and Desoto Brown.
