HEY!
very good analysis !
i never thought of it this way neither viewed the plan of this part of the city!
it is an exellent piece of information, well i liked the exchange stock market as a building, but the surrounding area -although very much related in functioning, but in an urban point of view it is a very harsh urban context for the most crowded point in the city!
it is the only place i find kuwaiti people walking around in the city, but the crowd of cars VS the crowd of people besides the understanding of human circulation in respect to his needs is lacking maturity. i think the reason is Zoning without Designing,whenever there is zoning it means that all those in the zone are or may be the interest of one man, so i have to design urbanisticly to create a configuration that can be understood in a perspctive point of view rather in a plan point of view.

most of our so named: URBAN design and LANDSCAPING (if we have such a thing) is harsh... our guys they design.. and they care noting for the following:

1. how to get to the building if ur walking or driving.

2. how would u enhance the building surrounding

3. how do u account for future expansion.

4. importance of maintenance (i know it is not the job of the designer, but at least they have o think this way since building operaors are messed up and don't care much for maintnce!)

sam3a bil mathal elli egool.. e9rif ma bil jaib, eyeek ma b fil ghaib?! ako nafsa i guess for designing in kuwait.. design anyhing, people will adapt!!

but el hope with college of architecture, and not letting ENGINEERS design architecture!!! this is our peoblem.. we need architects for bldgs.. urban planners for cities and areas.. and landscape architects for surroundings and mashatil!!
