"Unlike other state capitols modeled after the United States Capitol, the Hawaii State Capitol's distinct architectural features symbolize various natural aspects of Hawaii. Among them: * The building is surrounded by a reflecting pool, symbolizing the Pacific Ocean. * The two legislative chambers are cone-shaped, symbolizing volcanoes that formed the Hawaiian Islands. * The columns around the perimeter of the building have shapes resembling coconut trees. * The Capitol is built in an open-air design, allowing sun, wind, and rain to enter; the central rotunda opens to the sky."
