Hale Halawai Framing Schematic
Reference from HAR Chapter 15-110, Rules Pertaining to Indigenous Hawaiian Architecture Structures. The structural hierarchy of the hale maps directly to the thesis module system: the relationship between pou (posts), lohelau (wall plate), and o’a (rafters) informs the post-and-beam hierarchy of the 26-foot module.
