Brought to you by AIA Honolulu, we'll take advantage of the sights, sounds and beauty of the Pacific Islands to show off our rich island heritage and diversity of people, architecture and design. Many of our programs are tours, encouraging participants to personally experience Hawaii’s landscape, cultural and built environment. And for the local members and non-members of AIA in Hawaii, there will be ample opportunies for new learning and networking with new friends in our diverse region. Our turn may not come around again for another ten years, so be sure to plan to attend Hawaii 2008.
