new pharmacy building at UH Hilo - kalianna - 05-26-2022
This is a building that just won an award for its design:

I don't think anyone could look at the straight lines and hard angles and think of Pele. Not to mention how ludicrous it looks in its surroundings.

Well… it’s… red.

It's interesting to see that building from a new perspective, it doesn't look so bad from Nowelo St. All I can say is at least it's not quite as bad as this:

That's a library building at a university I used to work at although it was built after I left.

So our "tax dollars at work" is an ugly, lopsided, 90's sci-fi B-movie throwback?
Maybe it looks better in person.
At least it's red, unlike any of the lava flows I've seen in person.

We're lucky to get any investment in UHH at all.
