Summary:

"Designing Paradise : The Allure of the Hawaiian Resort follows the history of tourist destinations in the Hawaiian Islands, the motivations that shaped their formation, and the buildings and landscapes that are the embodiments of this paradise of the Pacific. Comprehensively illustrated with drawings, ephemera, archival images, and contemporary photographs, Designing Paradise examines the most magnificent and culturally rich architecture to emerge in the Hawaiian Islands and provides insight into the essence and allure of Hawai'i. The resorts presented here are more than places of shelter or destinations; they exemplify the aloha spirit and the idyllic mythos of Hawai'i."--Jacket.
