Kuwait is a country that has experienced radical economic and cultural shifts. Located at the tip of the Persian Gulf, the country is bordered by both Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Standing as a historic trade port, the country would later experience trade blockades from various countries. With the world\u2019s sixth largest oil reserves, Kuwait now has a strong economy and the highest valued currency in the world.<\/p>\n

Innovative Kuwaiti architecture has emerged from these evolving social and economic contexts. Traditionally, Kuwaiti construction rarely used elements like wood due to a lack of availability, instead utilizing vernacular materials such as mud and rubble stone. Central courts were common design elements \u2014 spaces that served as gathering points for families. Today, Kuwait\u2019s modern architecture possesses a more international style and also includes a number of iconic water towers that have become emblematic of the country.<\/p>\n
