James, Cary
1988
New York, Dover Publications. 139 p.
Resumen: In 1915 the imperial household of Japan invited Frank Lloyd Wright to build the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. And for the next seven years, the hotel was Wright's consuming passion. When its flexible "natural" design enabled the hotel to withstand the violent earthquake of 1923, which razed nearly every other large building in Tokyo, its survival provided strong confirmation of Wright scholar Cary James points out in his Introduction, "For Wright the builder, few structures had more meaning". This book contains an illuminating Introduction for Cary James analyzing the principles of unity and organic structure that governed Wright's work, and the embodiment of those principles in the Imperial Hotel. Also included are relevant quotations from Wright's works, offering additional insight int othe man, his mind and methods.
