RESIDENTIAL NASIMA . A

RESIDENTIAL NASIMA . A aims to question the essential realization of an ever modernizing
and homogenizing surrounding urban context. As Kuwait City moves towards drastic and rapid
modernization, the architectural values that should protect the culture, traditions of the
city, and the individual are starting to disintegrate. To instigate the debate of
preserving culture while allowing progress, RESIDENTIAL NASIMA . A as part of a whole
exemplifies a development that blends into the city fabric. The part takes inspiration
from the historical, natural landscape and urban clusters, while providing a provoking
contemporary design and controlled solutions in contrast to it.

RESIDENTIAL NASIMA . A sets out to question two typical archetypes seen throughout Kuwait
City and the region - standard, rectilinear, symmetrical city plot dimensions, and the
abundant use of native stone and white concrete. The design works backwards from the basic
volume of the zoning envelope - essentially the cube.
