A ROCK Original documentary
From Icon to Dust to Icon Again
What does it mean to tear down a legend and build it back? From 2022 to 2028, ROCK Networks documents the complete transformation of the Narai Hotel—from its final days as a 54-year-old icon, through demolition, construction, and rebirth. This isn't just about buildings. It's about memory, progress, and what we choose to preserve when everything changes.
