The newest edition to kick off the 2013 LEGO Architecture Landmark Series is the renowned Imperial Hotel of Tokyo, Japan.  This famous work by historically renown architect Frank Lloyd Wright is remarkably captured in this scaled down version of the historic building. Although the original structure no longer stands, architecture aficionados can explore the design of this classic building and construct their own personal landmark ringing in at around $95USD.

Edit: Thanks for Post History’s note that this photo of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel is rebuilt at Meijimura near Nagoya, not the complete old one in Tokyo, Japan, which was demolished in 1968.
