To recover, revisit, rethink Kuwait – by analysing instances of decolonization and decarbonization, Rethinking Rethinking Kuwait investigates new ways to design architecture and cities, with particular attention on transit and accessibility. Taking Kuwait City as a prototype, studies on different scales and scopes explore transition spaces within the city, trying to limit the effect of the modernist urbanism that is responsible for the disappearance of large part of the architectural heritage in the country. The exhibition looks at history not as a linear segment, but as a spiral, looking into the past for moments that can influence the future.
