Embossed Columns Commemorate Hawaiian Heritage


The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation recently completed its first embossed column as part of an art project connected with its rail station development program. Columns to support the guideway at each of the line’s 21 stations will have patterns unique to the area’s ahupua`a (historic region), telling historic and cultural stories of the communities where the stations are located. The first of eight columns for the Ho`opili Station in East Kapolei depicts the flow of wind, coral representing the foundation and the area’s beginnings, sea salt beds, and the symbolic first planting of the `ulu tree that grew plentiful in this area.
