Tiki Architecture: December 2011

Friday, December 16, 2011. Disneyland Tiki Room - Holiday Overlay? Last weekend my wife and I hosted our 5th annual Merry Kitchmas Party downstairs in our home tiki bar (The Kona Luanii). All of our good friends and fellow tikiphiles were there, it was a great evening! However, we can get a glimpse of what the Imagineers had in mind for the Tiki Room Christmas. In 2005, Imagineering released a set of pins that were based on the artwork for the Tiki Room Christmas show. There were four pins create...The E...

Sunday, February 26, 2012. The Huki Lau - El Segundo, California. The year was 1961 and the race for tomorrow had begun. Billed as 'California's First Jet Age Hotel'. The Thunderbird International Hotel was built at 525 Sepulveda Boulevard, in El Segundo, California, just a few blocks south of Los Angeles International Airport. The Thinderbird was a sleek modern conference and hotel facility with a restaurant and attached Coffee Shop (seen in the lower right hand corner with the vertical glass windows).

Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Escape to Polynesia Seminar - San Diego, 2012. Sorry about the lack of posts over the last month and a half, but I have just recently completed three years of research for my newest seminar. Last month I literally traveled coast to coast researching University Archive Collections in San Diego and Central Florida pulling together my latest presentation. For the hardcore tikiphiles out there, they should know the tiki connection to Shamu and Punchy). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tiki Architecture: October 2011

Friday, October 21, 2011. Tropical Space Age Architecture- Part 2. 8220;On October 4, 1957, a finger reached out and pushed a button in the Soviet Union, launching Sputnik. The first man-made satellite, into orbit. Afraid of losing face during the Cold War, a stunned United States responded in several ways, one of the most unusual of which was the building of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.”. 8220;The original theme of the fair was ‘Festival of the West’. Celebrating the past. But with Sputnik. Constructi...

When I was in college in the mid to late 1980s, I spent a few summers working at 'The Happiest Place on Earth' (e.g., Disneyland). It was a really fun job!

Tiki Architecture: Tahiti Apartments - Follow-Up
http://tikiarchitecture.blogspot.com/2012/03/tahiti-apartments-follow-up.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. Tahiti Apartments - Follow-Up. Last month I posted an entry on the blog about the Tahiti Apartments. In Torrance, California. When the complex opened in 1961, the advertising indicated that the interior of the complex was also decorated in a South Seas theme. Last weekend, my friend Boris, a local Southern California tikiphile, visited the Tahiti apartments to investigate the current state of the complex. The Tahiti Apartments (March 2012).

Tiki Architecture: May 2011
http://tikiarchitecture.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Today I am going to stray off topic a bit and take a look at a different aspect of tiki visuals and examine the role of color. In addition to researching Tiki Architecture, one of my other hobbies is painting. I'm a bit of a hack, but I enjoy it. I think every artist, at least the not very good ones, struggle with finding the right color palette to use in their work. To that end, I found this interesting color application on another great blog DesignerLand. It is called Kuler.
