Summary/Abstract: We are gathered on an elegant square in The Hague facing a brutalist icon with a group of artists and legal academics for a workshop in and on this building: the former American Embassy, designed by Hungarian born architect Marcel Breuer. It was designed and built to be the American Embassy, and it functioned as such from its inception in 1959 until the Americans left in 2018.
