The critics liked Morphosis' London embassy design, and it turns out, so did the Brits. The only two British jurors on the seven-member selection panel filed a minority report with the US State Department objecting to the KieranTimberlake design that was chosen because, according to the Guardian, they believed it "was not world class and was unfit to represent the US in Britain." They wanted the Morphosis design instead, which a source says they believed was "touched by genius." [Guardian, previously]
