I’m a big fan of mid century modern architecture, Honolulu is a great place for that. These were all taken a few weeks ago with an Olympus OM-2n using a Zuiko Auto-s 50mm f/1.4 lens.

Wow, some really nice examples have been posted in the responses above. Here is my contribution: Colorado Standard School, US-84 next to the Navajo River (near the Colorado-New Mexico border). This is a frame from long-expired Kodak Ektar 25 film in my Yashica Electro 35CC camera, hand-held (35mm f/1.8 lens).

It occurs to me that this recent upload of mine is appropriate here as well:

Great Gas, this is horrifying. Architectural brutalism at its concrete worst. And in that climate, with the grey concrete blending into the grey sky, and the mildew permeating the exposed surfaces. Who approves this stuff (just a guess: city fathers who make a personal profit off the contracts?)? This reminds me of Soviet or other Eastern European architecture from before the fall of the Iron Curtain.

All I have to say is-
This is an abandoned parking lot(?) over in Pontiac MI, which is a two and a half hour drive for me. I was over there to catch a concert, and this phoenix center was right there. And since I quite enjoy photographing abandoned places- I had to photograph it. no idea how old it is or how long it's been sitting there.
Also, it could be the film. The bw shots were all taken on svema micro ortho film, which has a low contrast.
here's another architectural shot, but of a modern school that's a short drive away from me. both corrected and uncorrected.

It's a pretty weird film.
