Novos Castelos: Embaixada dos EUA, no Iraque
9 de Janeiro de 2009 por Tiago Mota Saraiva

What embassy architecture really shouldn’t be, is like the new US embassy in Baghdad. Opened this week, this monster of a modern fortress designed by Berger Devine Yaeger , has been described by at least one US commentator as the “imperial mother ship dropping into Baghdad.” It could, I suppose, be seen as a latter-day, Wild East-version of a 7th Cavalry fort, with the Iraqis playing the role of Native Americans.
