La fortaleza
La autora del libro "The Architecture of Diplomacy: Building America's Embassies" ya sabe qué mensaje ha enviado EEUU con la construcción de la superembajada en Bagdad.
If architecture reflects the society that creates it, the new U.S. embassy in Baghdad makes a devastating comment about America’s global outlook. Although the U.S. government regularly proclaims confidence in Iraq’s democratic future, the United States has designed an embassy that conveys no confidence in Iraqis and little hope for their future. Instead, the United States has built a fortress capable of sustaining a massive, long-term presence in the face of continued violence.
No falla. Cuanto más gruesos son los muros de un edificio, menos confianza tiene su dueño en la gente que vive al otro lado.
