HAWAIIAN MODERN: THE ARCHITECTURE OF VLADIMIR OSSIPOFF by Vladimir Ossipoff and Karla Britton. Yale University Press, 2015.
Vladimir Ossipoff (1907–1998), known as the “master of Hawaiian architecture,” was at the forefront of the postwar phenomenon known as tropical modernism. Although he practiced at a time of rapid growth and social change in Hawai`i, Ossipoff criticized large-scale development and advocated environmentally sensitive designs, developing a distinctive form of architecture appropriate to the lush topography, microclimates, and vernacular traditions of the Hawaiian islands.
