Architect James Timberlake (L) from KieranTimberlake and landscape architect Laurie Olin of Olin Studio pose in London with their winning design for the new U.S. embassy to be built in London February 23, 2010. The United States's new embassy in London will be a secure modernist glass cube protected from attack by an earth bank, a semi-circular lake and bomb-resistant glazing, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. U.S. Ambassador to Britain Louis Susman said the embassy must move from its current central London location because the 1950s building is too small, outdated and hard to defend from security threats.
