==Beaux-Arts and Art Deco== In the 1920s and 1930s, [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts]] and [[Art Deco]] came to be known in Hawai{{okina}}i. Developed in [[France]] in the late 19th century, Beaux-Arts is a form of [[neoclassicism]] that combines ancient Greek and Roman architectural styles and principles into a modern form. Likewise, Art Deco is considered to be a blanket modernization of all architectural styles. Hawaiian builders created Hawaiian Beaux-Arts and Art Deco architecture by incorporating Hawaiian motifs and tropical treatments to the various parts of their projects. An example of Hawaiian Beaux-Arts is the [[Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial]] in [[Waikiki|Waikīkī]]. The most famous examples of Hawaiian Art Deco are the [[Hawaii Theatre|Hawai{{okina}}i Theatre]] and the [[Schofield Barracks, Hawai'i|Schofield Barracks Historic District]].
