Mentorship Program - Lineage
Things I Wish I Knew Earlier in My Career
Featuring John Hara, FAIA
Join AIA Honolulu's Emerging Professionals Committee for the next installment of Lineage, a mentorship series connecting emerging professionals with Fellows and seasoned leaders in Hawaiʻi's architecture community.
This session features John Hara, FAIA, for an intimate and informal conversation about his career, lessons learned along the way, and his journey. The conversation will explore John's journey while giving emerging professionals an opportunity to ask questions about career growth, leadership, navigating change, firm culture, giving back, and finding their own path within the profession.
John Hara, FAIA, a life-long Honolulu resident, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and studied with architectural masters including Louis Kahn, Romaldo Girguola and Robert Venturi. Before setting up shop in 1970, he worked in Europe for several years. Throughout his five-decade career, John Hara has won scores of design awards and other sorts of professional recognition.
His practice is devoted to planning and design of sites and buildings, with an aim to continually redefine the contemporary language of Hawaii's architectural traditions.
