Architects as Artists
Howard Wolff’s “Architects as Artists” installation at Honolulu’s Downtown Arts Center, January, 2024.
For four years running, my work has been selected by Honolulu’s Downtown Art Center for an exhibition entitled Architects as Artists. Curated to showcase what architects do when they’re not doing architecture, this annual roundup of artistic creations includes jewelry, pottery, ceramics, sculpture, painting, and, in my case, photography.

Framed black-and-white photos from my recent travels—from Tokyo to Brooklyn and Bruges—were selected for this show. I find the process of thinking in monochrome to be a complementary exercise to my passion for capturing portraits in color.
In a way, these are portraits of cities whose personalities I’ve come to love, and they feel as intimate and distinctive as the people I photograph on a daily basis.
