2018 - Taiwan - Hualien's Marshal Hotel Collapses after Massive 6.4 Earthquake - 6/2/18 - Duration: 1:44.

A hotel on the east coast of Taiwan has collapsed after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake, with other

buildings toppled or damaged. Images on local television showed the Marshal

Hotel in Hualien slanted on its side, partially crumpled into the ground.

Media reports said there were 30 people trapped inside with others crawling to safety.

The fire agency said at least four buildings including another hotel had toppled or been

damaged, with television images showing roads strewn with rubble and cracks in highways.

The port city of Hualien is one of Taiwan's most popular tourist hubs as it lies on the

picturesque east coast rail line and is near to popular Taroko Gorge.

Taiwan's president Tsai Ing-wen said rescuers from around the island were preparing to help.

"We will get into disaster relief work at the fastest speed," she said in a post on

her Facebook page. The quake hit at 10 minutes before midnight

local time around 21 kilometres northeast of Hualien, according to the United States

Geological Survey. It follows almost 100 smaller tremors to have

hit the area in the last three days and comes exactly two years since a quake of the same

magnitude struck the southern Taiwanese city of Tainan, killing more than 100 people.

Taiwan lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is regularly hit by earthquakes.

PBS Hawai'i - HIKI NŌ Episode #901 | McKinley High School - Oah'u | Prince Hotel Art - Duration: 3:27.

[CHANTING]

The Hawai'i Prince Hotel Waikiki was established in 1990.

Twenty-six years later, they embarked on a full hotel transformation, rebranding to the

Prince Waikiki.

The new design is inspired by the hotel's rich history.

They discovered that before it was the hotel twenty-five years ago, it was a muliwai.

And that muliwai is a place where the fresh water meets the ocean, and it creates these

undulations in the sand and the water.

Locally acclaimed artist Kaili Chun took inspiration from the muliwai

to design the hulali i ka la,

the ceiling installation hanging in the new Prince Waikiki.

For me, the hinana, I gravitated to it, because it's the baby 'o'opu.

And also, I had a dream one evening, and it was about the reflection of the sun on the

surface of the water.

So, I kind of took those elements, as well as the muliwai

and the little ripples that it makes.

We did a lot of design work early on,

making prototypes of different shapes, different materials.

We were given a framework to work with, so you know, came up with the copper, came up

with the shape, came up with the form and the texture of the pieces, and proceeded to

make a model, a one-to-one model of this thing.

And we could figure out how we wanted to curve everything across the ceiling.

Phase 2 was discovering that we should let the employees make some.

And I think just the process itself is Hawaiian.

You know, like …

Nobody builds a fishpond on their own.

Exactly.

So …

It's all about the community.

Yeah.

And the family.

And so, when you're looking at the hotel and all of the employees, and literally their

families participated in this, you know, that's a very Hawaiian thing.

Once I got involved, it was just amazing.

It was very exciting, I think, for us as employees to be a part of the whole art piece.

It was a nice way to kind of say: This is where we are, and this is our people, and

our culture, and this is very important.

And with this rebranding, I think it kind of moved right into that little niche.

The hulali i ka la is more than just a piece of artwork in a hotel -- it's a story hammered

through memories by those with ties to the Prince Waikiki.
