Simply put, we have to be smart about how we use our power, not because we have less of it. Indeed, the might of our military, the size of our economy, the influence of our diplomacy and the creative energy of our people remain unrivaled. No, it's because as the world has changed, so too have the levers of power that can most effectively shape international affairs.
I've come to think of it like this. Truman and Atcheson were building the Parthenon, with classical geometry and clear lines.
The pillars were a handful of big institutions and alliances dominated by major powers. And that structure delivered unprecedented peace and prosperity. But time takes its toll even on the greatest edifice. And we do need a new architecture for this new world, more Frank Gehry than formal Greek. (Laughter.) Think of it.
I checked Shubow's blog and noted dates, good enough for a conspiracy theory, frankly. The illuminati and new world order will be based on Delanda using Grasshopper and Catia, resulting in Blob and Genetic algorithm architecture, hmmmmm

The hillary quote seems more like a poke at the chaos of geopolitics than a real statement about architecture.

Tell that to the people whose governments we overthrew as a means to fight a decades long proxy war with the USSR.

i was told only a dictatorship would work in those countries that made deals,bad ones with the US, or had sponsored rebels by the US, rebels fighting for their own causes while being pawns, or were eventually invaded - directly. based on that perhaps we have another architecture category, the most base architecture of socio-political relations - the Pyramid..............so Shubow shoots down Gehrys Eisenhower memorial in the name of Greek architecture and Clinton notes Gehry is more approiate for today,which has little to do with The Stack, an altogether and more reasonable order.........so the new new world order is complicated,but most the old world would probably be just happy with a Pyramid and maybe a Greek temple?..............the Conspiracy types should now start looking for Morphological symbolism in the every day world to figure out what the new new world order is about?

on January 17, 2013 Justin Shubow published an adaptation of his June 1, 2012 testimony -
THE PLAN OF OUR NATION’S CAPITAL AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF ITS CORE BUILDINGS AND MONUMENTS MUST CARRY ON THE CLASSICAL VISION THE FOUNDERS INTENDED AS THE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF AMERICA’ S FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL IDEALS.
on January 31, 2013 Hillary Clinton to the Council on Foreign Relations notes -
Simply put, we have to be smart about how we use our power, not because we have less
of it. Indeed, the might of our military, the size of our economy, the influence of our
diplomacy and the creative energy of our people remain unrivaled. No, it's because as the
world has changed, so too have the levers of power that can most effectively shape
international affairs.

When Habermas was in England during the period of Blair's government did not Tony Blair invite him to a discreet dinner which went unreported in the media?
