Description: "ʻAʻama Nui is the tale of a legendary crab who protects the ponds of Lalakea. However, there is more to this tale...alongside the story of ʻAʻama Nui, the book's author (WCIT Architecture) describes how the tale inspires the architectural design of an actual home - one that will reside along the shores of Lalakea, watching over it, like the legend of ʻAʻama Nui"--Amazon.com.
