"Now this shows you the roofless motif which is very, very handsome...This is really the old hotel and you can see that instead of just tearing it down at once they tear it down partially so that you are not deprived of the complete wreckage situation...They really don't know if they want this part of the hotel or not, so it seems very smart to just leave it there...and I mean you never know when you might have some traveler, some tourist who comes to the hotel and wants a place that doesn't have a roof on it." Robert Smithson, "Hotel Palenque" [1969-1972].
