I know a lot of interesting work has been done in Scandinavia, and, of course, I’ve read about the work of Le Corbusier in France and I’d like to see what American architects are doing now. You may know the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He designed the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. It was designed to resist earthquakes and it proved so strong that it did. It was one of the few buildings in Tokyo that did not fall in the terrible earthquake of 1923.

He was the first who listed three basic factors in architecture – “convenience, strength and beauty”.

The architect mustn’t forget that many elements which look well on a drawing may be either completely ineffective or definitely harmful in the actual building.
