It is thanks to a link posted by GRogall allowing the download of the LEGO catalogue (in Italian version) for the first half of 2013 that we discover the first image of the next LEGO Architecture set: 21017 Imperial Hotel.
As some had rightly assumed when the name of the set leaked a few weeks ago, this is a reproduction of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo built in 1890 and modified by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1923.
It is probably not what we call a monument or a "popular" building, but as often in the Architecture range with one or two failures, it still throws a lot.
It should be noted that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles range is absent from this Italian catalogue for the first half of 2013 ...
