- Summary:
- Touring three embassies in Canada, this video shows how a building can reflect a foreign culture while fitting into a local architectural context. It discusses the uniquely Persian aspects of the Iranian embassy; reveals how the spacious, light-filled rooms and lush gardens of the Danish embassy epitomize early 70's Danish style; and visits the Australian embassy, where the wife of the Australian high commissioner describes the typical Australian home as open to the elements.
