Nature inspired the transformation of twin World War II-era airplane hangars in Hawaii into a high-performance office headquarters. The hangars, which narrowly escaped destruction in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, have recently been reimagined, stripped to their bones, restored, and linked by a new steel-and-glass pavilion to create a high-tech, environmentally sensitive research, educational and office campus.
