When buildings speak | Molly McCluskey | TEDxBrisbane
We tend to imagine diplomacy happening through speeches, negotiations and conversations behind closed doors. But long before anyone speaks, the buildings where nations meet are already communicating.Drawing on years of reporting from embassies, diplomatic residences and international institutions around the world, investigative journalist Molly McCluskey explores architectural diplomacy: the long-standing role buildings play in how nations represent themselves and engage with the world. Through examples from across the globe, she reveals how choices about sustainability, materials, landscape and public access allow the built environment to express a nation’s identity, priorities and intentions — and make its response to climate change visible.
At a time when global progress on climate action is faltering, Molly makes the case that buildings can do more than reflect our values. They can model responsibility, influence relationships and help shape a more sustainable, interconnected world. Molly McCluskey is an investigative journalist and foreign correspondent whose work explores power, diplomacy and the spaces where global decisions are made. She is the founder of Diplomatica Global Media, a solutions-focused newsroom examining the intersection of international relations and the built environment.
Reporting from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Molly has covered diplomacy, economics, climate and institutions for leading international outlets. Her work is distinguished by a focus on how architecture, design and physical space influence political relationships and global cooperation.
A recipient of numerous international fellowships, her career bridges frontline reporting with long-form investigation, often in places where politics, power and place collide. Through journalism, consulting and media strategy, she is committed to making complex global issues accessible, human and actionable — using independent media as a catalyst for meaningful change.
