Docomomo Hawaii Talk Story
The Architecture of Suspense
The Built World In The Films Of Alfred Hitchcock
Click on <strong>Other Media <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>The Architecture of Suspense</em></span></strong> below to watch the video of the program. The presentation begins 1 minute after the video starts.<br /><br />Uncover the backstory of Alfred Hitchcock's most iconic characters: a Villainous Modernist House, a Maternal Victorian Mansion, and a Naughty Roadside Motel on this tour of his buildings in film. <br /><br />Film director Alfred Hitchcock leveraged our collective memory and the language of building and monumental design as constructed expressions of human emotions, including love, envy and the killer instinct. Through creative production design, cinematography and storytelling, he highlighted the personalities of buildings as effectively as any architect. For Hitchcock, the parts of a building represent humanity and all its complications: windows are the eyes into the soul, a stairway is a spine between the heart and mind, the basement is a place to hide secrets and a door permits entry into infinite subliminal perceptions. Architectural settings and the backstory for Hitchcock's midcentury movies, including Vertigo, Psycho, Rear Window, North by Northwest and The Birds will be featured, along with an insider's peek at real-life notorious Modernist "villain's lairs" in Los Angeles and Palm Spring designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra and John Lautner as seen in LA Confidential, Diamonds are Forever, The Big Lebowski and other films.<br /><br /><span>Christine Madrid French is a historian, screenwriter and author of the upcoming book </span><em>Alfred Hitchcock's Architectural Infatuations: Villain's Lairs, Skyscrapers, Mansions, and Motels</em><span> (University of Virginia Press, 2022). Her unproduced screenplay Piney Croft, a paranormal horror feature, was a semi-finalist at the Orlando Film Festival and selected by iHorror Film Festival, and the Northeast Film Festival Horror Fest.

Harris United Methodist Church <br />South Vineyard Blvd, Honolulu
The first image is from 1965. The other images are from 2021.<br /><br />The Harris United Methodist Church (originally the Harris Memorial Methodist Church) has been housed in a succession of buildings in downtown Honolulu since its beginning in 1887. <br /><br />In 1925, the church moved into a substantial structure at the corner of Vineyard Street and Fort Street. But in 1951 the City & County of Honolulu informed the church that this site would be condemned for the straightened and widened Vineyard Boulevard. The former Korean Methodist Church a half-block mauka on Fort Street was therefore purchased and renovated - but in October 1955, before Harris had even moved, this site was also scheduled for condemnation for the construction of what would become the bottom stretch of the Pali Highway. Harris only was able to occupy this new location for three years, from 1956 to 1959. The Honolulu Redevelopment Agency reserved the current site for Harris as this entire area was cleared for Urban Renewal, and the church was able to purchase it.<br />
<p>The Harris United Methodist Church looks substantially the same in 2021 as it had in the 1960s. Fundraising for this complex began in 1958 and its groundbreaking took place on December 25, 1960. By June 1962 the buildings were in use, and the official dedication was on August 5, 1962.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The entire site is 2 acres; the sanctuary holds 350 people and the social hall 300. There are 14 Sunday School / preschool classrooms and parking for 100 vehicles. The cost, including the land, was $750,000.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
