Pu‘uhonua: Envisioning a Resilience Hub for Ko‘olauloa

On October 27th from 1:45-2:45 pm HST, SHADE Executive Director Dean Sakamoto will be presenting progress on the Resilience Hub for Ko’olauloa as part of PBX20, a three day virtual event featuring expert-led webinars spanning the construction and design industries.

SHADE Institute is working in collaboration with +LAB Architects of New York City to begin its community engagement and preliminary design this fall. 

Resilience Hubs are intended to function as places for everyday community activities as well as a safe haven in preparation for, during and following disasters. The Ko'olauloa District, which is located on O'ahu's North Shore has been identified by the City & County of Honolulu as its most vulnerable region related to coastal hazards.

Dean will be joined by community leader Dotty Kelly-Paddock and Illya Azaroff, Principal at +LAB Architects.
