my basic point is this, they could've still built a very secure building that wasnt so sprawled out and thats all there is to it!

edit* even if they wanted to keep all that surface parking they could have still made this project interact better with the street!
Your comparing to different types of building

An embassy is not expected to be as secure as a cop headquarters.
I mean come a natural disaster people aren't gonna be going to an embassy first they would first turn to cop and arm bases. This place will be a place where people can find shelter be it camp style to indoor.
