Nobumichi Akashi - Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel Tokyo - 2017

A highly regarded architectural reference dedicated to Frank Lloyd Wright's legendary Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, completed in 1923 and widely celebrated for surviving the Great Kanto Earthquake that struck on the day of its opening. Created from surveys conducted shortly before the building's demolition, this volume contains detailed measured drawings, plans, sections, construction details, historical analysis, and documentary photographs. The research was directed by Professor Nobumichi Akashi, while renowned architectural photographer Osamu Murai documented the building's final state. Although the main text is in Japanese, many photographs, captions, architectural drawings, and technical references include English text. As the original building no longer exists, the measured drawings reproduced in this volume remain among the most accurate surviving records of Wright's masterpiece, preserving architectural information unavailable in most other publications. An important reference for architects, historians, researchers, and Frank Lloyd Wright collectors worldwide. Details: • Title: Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel • Authors: Nobumichi Akashi, Osamu Murai • Publisher: Kenchiku Shiryo Kenkyusha • Year: 2010 • Pages: 167 • Language: Japanese • Softcover Condition: The cover shows minor signs of wear and light surface scratches. There is a crease on the page following the cover, and a few pages show minor corner creases. Otherwise, the book remains in very good condition. Please refer to the photographs for details. Important: Due to a temporary suspension by Japan Post, shipments to the UAE cannot be made at this time. Important Notice for International Buyers: Import duties or taxes may be charged by your local customs office. These fees are not included in the item price or shipping cost. They vary depending on your country’s regulations.
