The architecture critic of the Sunday Times (London) argues that the Eero Saarinen-designed U.S. Embassy in London should not be lost as the State Department seeks a new home elsewhere in the city. “Like it or loathe it, this building has enormous character, the expression of a subtle architectural intelligence,” Huge Pearman writes in the Wall Street Journal. “I know this: If we lose it, we will come to regret it.”
