With a hodgepodge of Architectural styles and plans for an boring boxy international style master plan and huge makeover, the state of Hawai'i's DOT Airports division, as well as the whole State usually builds after a 10 year process. This 10 year lapse usually results in a mix of confusing developments. For example this Poly Pop architectural styled renovations to the curbside arrival, although welcomed by all in this website, these renovations(apparently planned around 10 years ago) does not match the new car rental center or the Hawaiian architecture of the lei stands nor will it match the new rail station nor the huge plain style of the new master plan I mentioned, which might ruin the remodeling going on right now. Here is pic of the Lei Stands with the familiar Hawaiian Architecture

Here is the first attempt to make a Poly Pop design on the arrival curbside on the main terminal. Note the outriggers were so small I had to put red arrows to point them out.

Another shot in silhouette to see it better. Hey it's Poly Pop/Tiki and I'll take it.

Low and behold there were long delays in the refit (like most government work) then suddenly there was a refit of the refit (rare for government work). Someone with power decided that the remodel wasn't good enough and below is the happy results with more noticeable outriggers.

Long live Tiki and Poly Pop!!!
