| Sumario: | [EN] Frank Lloyd Wright ́s Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. A 20th century monument brought back to life, the text describes the time lapse that went by from the birth of this unique work until its reconstruction. In the first place, it examines the genealogy of the project, and then goes into the vicissitudes of its building. Its apparent integrity after the Kanto earthquake led Wright to boast of its cleverness and allow it to be mythicised,although this did not save it from bombing in World War II or from being demolished later. The article includes a description of the pathologies in Wrightʼs works, the desctruction of some of them and the architectʼspersonal relationship with the world of restoration. |
