520 3 |a "Architect, planner, and arts advocate Alfred Preis (1911-1994) dedicated his many creative talents to his beloved, adopted home, Hawai'i. Born, raised, and educated in Vienna, Preis had to escape from Nazi-occupied Austria in 1939. Following an arduous journey, he and his wife emigrated to Honolulu, Hawai'i. Briefly imprisoned as "enemy aliens" after the United States joined World War II, Preis emerged as one of Hawai'i's leading modern architects in the 1950s and 1960s. His celebrated architectural career spanned twenty-three years. In this time he designed almost one hundred and eighty completed projects ranging from residences, schools, commercial buildings, and public parks. Merging his Viennese training with Hawai'i's rich culture and unique climate, Preis established a new, regionalist vision for architecture and planning. His designs were specific to the Hawaiian context, its people, its tropical climate, and its stunning landscape. His crowning achievement was his design for the famed USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in 1962. In later years through his legislative work, he became a visionary advocate and leader for the public arts, and in 1965 formed the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (HSFCA) the first institution of its kind in the nation. In this new position, he pioneered the first 1% law in the United States, stipulating that 1% of all public building construction be used for the purchase of public art. During his tenure as Executive Director, Preis purchased 2000 artworks by local, national, and international artists, earning him the moniker "Hawai'i's art czar." Preis's gift as an architect and an advocate has until now overshadowed his body of work in architecture between 1939 and 1963, which includes not only several acclaimed public projects but also illustrates the gradual transition from a European modern language into a regional modernism, unifying both cultures in unique and pioneering ways [...]."
