I don't want to bore you with the technical stuff

but I'm going to fit the entire thing in a 100x100x100 foot cube.

three stories underground, with 10' clearance and 2' reinforced concrete separations.

B3 = EMERGENCY - basically a bunker.  beds, food, water, medical, secure communications, generator etc.

B2 = SECURITY - work and training area for the security team and intelligence operators

B1 = MECHANICAL - the embassy's motor pool, and building systems and maintenance.

then 4' of solid concrete to bring us up to grade.  (total 40')

so, topside there's a 60' tower, and a quarter of the 100x100' property is courtyard with a 12' wall.

so what could the 4 gargoyles represent?

the wolf makes music (howling at the moon)
the eagle creates pictures (eagle eye)
the raven tells jokes (trickster)
and the hamster writes poems.

and the greatest of them all was the humble hamster..for poetry contains the myths and truths of Olgard and is eternal in its appeal.
