Hale Halawai Hip Alternate and Dimensions

The Hale Halawai dimensions table from HAR Chapter 15-110 specifies minimum member sizes for traditional Hawaiian gathering halls. The thesis references these specifications in the development of the 26x26-foot module, noting that “traditional Hawaiian construction at the scale of Hale Halawai (up to 30’ x 60’) required multiple intermediate posts; the module uses mass timber to achieve the 26-foot clear span with corner posts alone.” Source: Hawaii Administrative Rules, Chapter 15-110.
