The Embassy of the United States to the Republic of Indonesia is located in Jakarta just south of the Monas at Jalan Medan Mederka Selatan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jakarta.usembassy.gov/embassy-info.html )〕 The original building was designed by Antonin Raymond and Ladislav Rado. They began work on the design in 1953.〔Loeffler 1998, p. 144〕 The preliminary design for the embassy was criticized by Sukarno. He felt that the small two story design they produced suggested that the post was unimportant to the United States. He wished to have a larger and more prominent building constructed.〔Loeffler 1998, p. 147〕 Sukarno, however, ultimately accepted the design after small alterations were made, in part due to pressure directed at him by the U.S. State Department.〔Loeffler 1998, p. 148〕 The US Ambassador, Scot Marciel, announced the construction of a new embassy in July, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jakarta.usembassy.gov/news/pr_07092012.html )〕 The new embassy will include a 10 story Chancery building, parking garage, support annex, utility building, consular waiting area, three entrance facilities and restoration of a historic building which the Republic of Indonesia delegation occupied during negotiations with the Dutch in 1949.〔 The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations announced the award of a $302 million design/build contract to B.L. Harbert International of Birmingham, Alabama in November, 2012, and named Davis Brody Bond Architects and Planners of New York, New York as the concept design architect and Page Southerland Page of Arlington, Virginia as the architect of record. Protests against the foreign policy of the United States have been held at the embassy in response to U.S. policy on West Papua, Communism, and the War in Afghanistan. ==See also== *United States Ambassador to Indonesia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Embassy of the United States, Jakarta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
