			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love architecture.  In another life I could have designed buildings.  I just read an interesting article in the New York <em>Times </em>about the new United States Embassy in London: &#8220;<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/24/arts/design/24embassy.html">A New Fort, er, Embassy, for London</A>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the design they picked:</p>
<div id="attachment_150" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 367px"><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-us-embassy-in-london/20100224_embassy_01/" rel="attachment wp-att-150"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_embassy_01-357x400.jpg" alt="" title="20100224_embassy_01" width="357" height="400" class="size-medium wp-image-150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kierantimberlake Architects</p></div>
<p>Key quote from the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>The project as a whole, however, is a fascinating study in how architecture can be used as a form of camouflage. The building is set in a spiraling pattern of two small meadows and a pond that have as much to do with defensive fortification as with pastoral serenity: an eye-opening expression of the irresolvable tensions involved in trying to design an emblem of American values when you know it may become the next terrorist target.</p></blockquote>
<p>Over at the <a href="http://www.usembassy.org.uk/new_embassy/new_embassy5.html">Embassy&#8217;s official page</a> they have a few more renderings, including this one that&#8217;s much more spikey than the last:</p>
<div id="attachment_151" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-us-embassy-in-london/20100224_embassy_02/" rel="attachment wp-att-151"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_embassy_02-400x285.jpg" alt="" title="20100224_embassy_02" width="400" height="285" class="size-medium wp-image-151" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kierantimberlake Architects </p></div>
