The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi is one of the largest U.S. diplomatic missions in the world, a reflection of the importance the United States places on its relationship with India. The Embassy represents 17 U.S. federal government agencies, from the U.S. Department of State to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Weiss/Manfredi has been commissioned by the Department of State to re-envision the iconic embassy compound in New Delhi, India. The new design restores the early modernist Chancery Building and recasts the 28-acre embassy compound into a multi-functional campus. It builds on research into traditional Indian architecture and landscape as well as a consideration of the Embassy’s current needs for space, security, and sustainability.
The project includes a new office building, a support annex, and a transformed landscape that provides a secure campus for America's growing mission to India. A new tree-lined central green offers shade, connects functional zones across the campus, and introduces reciprocal relationships between the buildings and gardens. Inspired by India's enduring tradition of weaving together architecture and landscape, a series of cast stone screens, canopies, and garden walls introduce a resilient, integrated design language that brings the campus into the twenty-first century.
Nearly sixty years after the opening of the Edward Durell Stone-designed embassy, the rejuvenated embassy compound expresses the symbolic values of American diplomacy through environmental stewardship and gives measure to America's democratic presence in India.
