"\"Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.\"\n\n \u2014Thomas Carlyle\n\nThank you to all the readers who have supported the Architect's Eye this past year. We look forward to exploring architecture, art, and culture as we toast 2014 with this photograph I took while visiting the embassy of Denmark in Washington, D.C. Designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen and completed in 1960, Denmark's was the first modernist embassy built in the United States, and this remarkable chandelier has always brought to mind clinking Champagne glasses. Cheers!\n\n(A special thanks to Peter Taks\u00F8e-Jensen, Danish ambassador to the U.S., and Annette Rachlin, president of Furniture from Scandinavia.)\n\nMore on archdigest.com:\n\nTour the storied arcades and open-air marketplaces of London\n\n See more architectural marvels on Lee F.
