Review
"Travelers associating the words 'American embassy' only with lost passports and long lines are missing out. Judging from the 40-plus locations showcased in Building Diplomacy, travel guides might be advised to list America's foreign diplomatic centers under 'Things to See.' . . . For Lui, the project was more than a collection of architectural photographs. Her hope, she says, is that it will 'really appeal to the American people to build a constituency for cultural diplomacy.'" Leslee Komaiko, Los Angeles Times, October 10, 2004"
"The history on display here shows architecutre as an expression of both art and politics. It also suggests some career direction: Anyone at the State Department feeling angst-ridden should, clearly, start angling to become deputy chief of mission in Madrid. Trust me." Warren Bass, Washington Post Book World, December 19 25, 2004"
