We are excited to invite you to our inaugural Master Architect Talk Story session, where we will celebrate the remarkable career of Sidney Snyder, Jr., set against the vibrant backdrop of Chinatown’s iconic King Liberty Center.  

Sidney "Sid" Snyder became a licensed architect by the age of 25 and has been a pivotal force in shaping Hawai'i’s architectural landscape since 1957. His design dexterity and leadership at Ossipoff, Snyder, Rowland, and Goetz have left an indelible mark on landmark projects like Kahului Airport Terminal, the Palama Settlement Gym, and the Makai Chapel at Mililani Memorial Park. As a former president of AIA Hawaii, Sid was instrumental in leading the Regional Urban Design Assessment Team (RUDAT) that laid the groundwork for the redevelopment of Kaka'ako, a then low-slung industrial and residential area between downtown Honolulu and Ala Moana. 

Moderating this session will be Dean Sakamoto, FAIA, Principal Architect of Dean Sakamoto Architects and Executive Director of SHADE Institute. Dean is the primary editor and author of the book, Hawaiian Modern: The Architecture of Vladimir Ossipoff.   (Yale University Press in association with Honolulu Museum of Art, 2007, 2015).

Event Highlights:

• Hear Sid’s design philosophy and lessons learned from six decades of architectural practice 

• Discover the stories behind his most iconic projects

• Engage in a lively discussion with industry professional

Refreshments will be provided.

About the Film:

Special thanks to community partners Mālama Mānoa and HI Good Neighbor.

Directed by Thomas Bena. USA. 2016. 82 mins. 

Gentrification comes in many forms. On the tiny island of Martha’s Vineyard, where presidents and celebrities vacation, trophy homes threaten to destroy the island's unique character. Twelve years in the making, One Big Home follows one carpenter's journey to understand the trend toward giant houses. When he feels complicit in wrecking the place he calls home, he takes off his tool belt and picks up a camera. Bumping up against angry homeowners and builders who look the other way, he works with his community and attempts to pass a new bylaw to limit house size. Filmmaker Thomas Bena interviewed many people with different perspectives on mega-mansions and limiting house size. The film presents various points of views and conflicting ideas on what makes a house a home.

Join us for a post-screening discussion about monster homes in Hawai'i moderated by Catherine Cruz, Co-Host of
Hawaii Public Radio's The Conversation. 

Panelists include:
Trevor Ozawa, Council Member, Honolulu City Council District IV
Dean Sakamoto, Dean Sakamoto Archtects LLC, SHADES Group
Tyler Dos Santos-Tam, Hawaiʻi Construction Alliance
Paul Brewbaker, TZ Economics
Catherine Cruz, Hawaii Public Radio (Moderator)
