where did you get the various architectural drawings of the Kon Tiki and the Kona Kai (I think that's the other one)in the BOT?

From the architects themselves, they gladly copied all the Tiki blueprints they had left on file. Armet & Davis are famous for their Googie Coffee shops, but did some Tiki temples too. Louis Armet, who was the one of the duo who did them, unfortunately died in a ski accident in the 80s, but Eldon Davis was very helpful.
Sadly, a lot was tossed, like their Playa Del Rey Polynesian Village apartment plans, and their menu designs, which were sometimes done by the architect's designers too.

I wonder what ever happend to (A&D Designer) Irving Weisenberg's relative who once posted here long ago....
