The YWCA Building at 1040 Richards Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, popularly called the Richards Street Y, is now officially named Laniākea, which means 'open skies' or 'wide horizons' in the Hawaiian language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=YWCA: Laniākea )〕 It was designed by San Francisco architect Julia Morgan, who considered it one of her favorites. It opened its doors in 1927 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as a contributing property within the Hawaii Capital Historic District.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National and State Register of Historic Places )〕 Julia Morgan, the first female graduate of the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, was also overseeing the restoration of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California, at the time. She combined modern structural concrete engineering with traditional Mediterranean design elements—arches, loggias, balconies, and decorative grille work—to create a unique building well adapted to the Hawaiian climate and evolving Hawaiian regional style.〔Sandler, Mehta, and Haines 2008, p. 55〕 ==Gallery== Image:Honolulu-LaniakeaYWCA-grillshadow.JPG|Front entrance Image:Honolulu-LaniakeaYWCA-lounge.JPG|Front lounge Image:Honolulu-LaniakeaYWCA-courtyard.JPG|Courtyard Image:Honolulu-LaniakeaYWCA-poolside-wall.JPG|Poolside wall Image:Honolulu-LaniakeaYWCA-loggia-pool.JPG|Loggia above pool Image:Honolulu-LaniakeaYWCA-stairwell.JPG|Stairwell 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「YWCA Building (Honolulu, Hawaii)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
