The embassy of the United States in Athens, Greece was completed on July 4th, 1961. This project is easily my favorite by Gropius. He implemented the same marble used for the Parthenon as well as multiple other marbles native to Greece. What I love about this building is that it is a US embassy, but it uses the architectural and structural elements of the country it’s in. It may be a building made for the use of another country, but Gropius put his own twist on it and included Greek elements in the construction which I think is very interesting. The renovation and rehabilitation of the original building began in 2018 and is expected to take 5 years.
