The "United States" issue of The Architectural Review, the premiere international architecture journal based in London, features the Phase 2 expansion of Austin's Mexican American Cultural Center alongside premiere works from across the country:

“On the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, the founding principles it set out feel like a distant dream in today’s diminished democracy. The transformation of the White House and the Obama Presidential Center reveal how architecture reflects and exerts presidential authority. Architects design detention facilities for a state at war with immigrants, while US colonial control over Puerto Rico accelerates its coastal development. The issue revisits Fallingwater and looks toward the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center and Tekαkαpimək Contact Station in Maine as projects that offer glimmers of light.”
