The truth is that most of the architects I worked with are copy cats. They copy pieces from magazines and book without understanding the concept. The only good building designs you see in Kuwait are done by sub contracting with US or British Architects. what pisses me off is that me and my fellow Kuwaiti friends who studied architect and engineering in the best universities in the US never given a chance to be creative. Our ideas are always killed by those close minded old school you know who. I worked for the biggest Architecture & Engineering firm in Kuwait as a structural engineer.

The current Kuwait Airport design is a dump when compared with Dubai or Qatar's. Tear the whole thing down and start again. And for God's sake Kuwait, will you spend some money and not try to save fils on everything you do. We want to be wow'ed. Dear me, thanks be to god you aint in charge.
