Design Diplomacy: A New Look for U.S. Embassies

With its recently-inaugurated Design Excellence Program for embassies, the U.S. State Department has been commissioning some of the country’s leading architects and designers to develop a new generation of overseas facilities that will be as noteworthy for their design as for their functionality, sustainability and security.
