Description
Islands 3: Hawaii: Detail (a) Highlights Relevant to the Sustainable Design:
Make your mark.
These are examples of carvings in the lava. A mother and son are depicted next to a body that is tied to a carrying pole for a traditional Hawaiian burial practice. The simplicity of the figures is an example of early iconography from the native island people. They had sustainable design at the center of their coexistence with nature, more from necessity than environmental philosophy. As an example, the conservation of resources is illustrated with the carrying pole versus a more material-intensive coffin.
Author and illustrator: Charlie Szoradi is an architect, inventor, and the CEO of Independence LED Lighting. He writes about many other topics related to Hawaii and island life through his extensive travels around the world.
