New generation of Kuwaiti architects reimagines memory, place, and identity
By Dena Alfadhli Kuwait is entering a new chapter in how it values and preserves its cultural heritage. Efforts led by institutions such as the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) are paving the way for UNESCO World Heritage status for sites like Failaka Island and Al-Zour. Restoration projects at landmarks such as Al-Qurain House and Kuwait's old souqs signal a shift toward honoring history amid rapid modernization. A new wave of architects — many of whom participated in this year's Venice Architecture Biennale — is embracing heritage not as a relic, but as a foundation. They're reviving it to inform contemporary design and reconnect communities with place, memory, and identity. Amid accelerating modernization and globalization, these architects are raising a vital question: What happens when a nation loses touch with its architectural roots? Kuwait's built environment is at a crossroads. Once grounded in preservation and harmony with the natural landscape, its architecture now leans on imported styles and resource-heavy methods in an attempt to meet global standards. According to Mohammad Kassem, one of the curators of the Kuwait pavilion, the result is 'a patchwork of borrowed aesthetics — disconnected from local history, culture and climate'. That's why for this year's 2025 Architecture Biennale, Kassem — alongside Naser Ashour and Rabab Raes Kazem — led a collective of Kuwaiti architects, artists and designers to reimagine a future shaped by memory. Through their work, they ask: How can a city grow without forgetting where it came from? And how can architecture help us reconnect — with the land, our past and each other? Since 2013, Kuwait has actively participated in the Venice Architecture Biennale — one of the world's most prestigious events in architectural discourse. This year, under the sponsorship of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and the commission of NCCAL, Kuwait's contribution took shape in a pavilion titled Kaynuna, a word that refers to the essential nature of something — what makes it truly what it is. Alongside designing the pavilion itself, participants worked on group projects that reexamined Kuwait's past, present, and future in ways that transcend aesthetics. For Kassem, this 'essence' is about the values and history that shape us and form a lasting cultural identity. Drawing the souq back to life Among the contributors are Kuwaiti architects Qutaiba Buyabes, Alya Aly, Batool Ashour and Danah Alhasan, whose work explores how the future can be approached through memory — fragmented, emotional and imperfect. Their focus turned to Al-Ahmadi Souq, once the heart of a thriving oil town and part of Kuwait's original 'garden city' vision, now left in decay. Rather than restoring the mid-century market to its former state, they reimagined it through hand-drawn studies that blend memory with imagination. Here, drawing becomes a tool not for precision, but for storytelling — reviving elements like concrete arcades and fish-scale mashrabiyas as symbolic echoes. Their vision reclaims Ahmadi's spirit as a walkable, green, community-centered town — offering a poetic yet practical blueprint for how forgotten spaces might reconnect with both heritage and future needs. Reviving Kuwait's lost wall For generations, Kuwait's architecture quietly told a story of survival — homes built to breathe in desert heat, shaded courtyards that cooled the air, and walls made from coral stone and mud that stood resilient against scarcity. But as the city expanded, its protective wall was dismantled. Kuwaiti architects Ahmad Almutawa and Khaled Mohamed saw these walls as a vital part of the city's identity. With help from their research team, their project proposes reviving the wall — not as a fortress, but as a living pathway. It traces the original route through the city, particularly between two surviving gates: Al Jahra and Al Shamiya. Once points of defense, they are reimagined as gathering spaces and cultural markets — places to cross, pause, and reflect. Inspired by Shaheed Park, their design balances nature, heritage and contemporary urban design. The desert as archive Kuwaiti architects Khaled Alanjeri, Noor Abdulkhaleq, Nour Alkhader and their research team challenge the notion that the desert is barren or lifeless. Instead, they present it as a dynamic force that has shaped human settlement, building practices and cultural survival for generations. Their project revisits areas like Al-Adan and Shuaiba — once vibrant coastal communities that were erased to make way for oil refineries. These lost landscapes reveal the human and cultural cost of rapid industrialization. Rather than treating the desert as something to conquer or erase, their work proposes designing with it — honoring its ecological rhythms and cultural depth. The desert, they argue, is not just a backdrop, but a source of materials, a space of memory, and a witness to both fragility and resilience. From corner store to community anchor Another project focuses on the jameia — Kuwait's neighborhood cooperative society — not simply as a market, but as a legacy of community-driven development. Originating in the post-oil welfare era, jameiat reinvested profits into public life, anchoring new suburbs with parks, clinics and shared spaces. Architects explored how these planned neighborhoods still revolve around traditional institutions like mosques and diwaniyas, and imagined a future where jameiat evolve into cultural hubs — supporting artisans, reviving crafts and integrating heritage into daily life. Their vision demonstrates that modernization doesn't have to erase identity — it can reinforce it. Rather than shying away from uncertainty, these architects embrace it as a space for exploration and creativity. By bridging theory and practice, they challenge conventional thinking and propose alternative ways of seeing the world. As Rabab Raes Kazem puts it, 'Although these solutions fall under speculative situations, they engage the mind in ways that allow us to reclaim our history and build upon it a new future.'

Kuwait mourns victims of Air India crash
KUWAIT CITY, June 12, (Agencies): His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah on Thursday sent a cable to Indian President Droupadi Murmu, offering sincere condolences and solace over the victims of the Air India flight crash, which claimed the lives of scores of victims. Similarly, His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al- Hamad Al-Sabah on Thursday sent a cable to Indian President Droupadi Murmu, expressing sincere condolences and solace over the victims of the Air India flight crash, which claimed the lives of scores of victims. His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah also sent a cable to Indian President Murmu, expressing sincere condolences and solace over the victims of the Air India flight crash. Earlier, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday voiced sympathy and solidarity with India over the crash of an Air India flight with 242 passengers on board. In a press release, the ministry expressed sincere condolences and solace to the victims' families, the leadership, government and people of India over this painful tragedy. An Air India passenger plane bound for London with more than 240 people on board crashed into a medical college after takeoff Thursday in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad, officials said, in one of India's worst airline disasters in decades. At least one person survived the crash, Dr. Shriq M with the Ahmedabad hospital told the news agency Press Trust of India. The Associated Press could not independently verify the information. Black smoke billowed from the site where the plane crashed and burst into flames near the airport in Ahmedabad, a city of more than 5 million and the capital of Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state. Firefighters doused the smoking wreckage of the plane, which would have been fully loaded with fuel shortly after takeoff, and adjacent multistory buildings with water. Charred bodies lay on the ground and parts of the fuselage were scattered around the site. Indian army teams were assisting civil authorities to clear debris and help treat the injured. A video on social media showed the jet slowly descending as if it were landing. As soon as it disappeared out of view behind rows of houses, a giant fireball filled the sky. The AP was able to verify the video by matching up the flight path of the plane from the runway with the crash site and the nearby residential area. At the crash site, the tail cone of the aircraft with damaged stabilizer fins still attached to it was lodged near the top of one of the buildings. In a social media post, Modi called the crash 'heartbreaking beyond words' and said 'my thoughts are with everyone affected.' City police chief G.S. Malik told the AP that the dead could include both passengers and those on the ground. 'Exact figures on casualties are being ascertained,' he said. Sambit Patra, a lawmaker from Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, said Gujarat's former chief minister, Vijay Rupani, was among the dead. Divyansh Singh, vice president of the Federation of All India Medical Association, said at least five students from the medical college were killed on the ground and 50 others were injured. Singh said some of them were in critical condition and many people are 'feared buried in the debris.' Air India said the flight bound for London Gatwick Airport was carrying 242 passengers and crew, with 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese and one Canadian aboard. The Boeing 787-8 crashed into a residential area called Meghani Nagar five minutes after taking off at 1:38 p.m. (08:08 GMT), Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, the director general of the Directorate of Civil Aviation, told AP. This is the first crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, according to the Aviation Safety Network database. Boeing said it was 'working to gather more information.' India's aviation regulatory body said the aircraft gave a mayday call, signalling an emergency, but then did not respond to the calls made by the airport traffic control. Aviation consultant John M. Cox, the CEO of Safety Operating Systems, told the AP from Los Angeles that while the first images of the crash were poor, it appeared the aircraft had its nose up and was not climbing, which is one of the things that investigators would look at. 'At this point, it's very, very, very early; we don't know a whole lot,' he said. 'But the 787 has very extensive flight data monitoring - the parameters on the flight data recorder are in the thousands - so once we get that recorder, they'll be able to know pretty quickly what happened.' The wide-body, twin-engine aircraft was introduced in 2009, and more than 1,000 have been delivered to dozens of airlines, according to the flightradar24 website. Air India's chairman, Natarajan Chandrasekaran, said that at the moment, 'our primary focus is on supporting all the affected people and their families.' 'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of all those affected by this devastating event,' he said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the crash 'devastating,' and British Cabinet minister Lucy Powell said the government will provide 'all the support that it can' to those affected by the crash. 'This is an unfolding story, and it will undoubtedly be causing a huge amount of worry and concern to the many, many families and communities here and those waiting for the arrival of their loved ones,' she told lawmakers in the House of Commons. 'We send our deepest sympathy and thoughts to all those families, and the government will provide all the support that it can with those in India and those in this country as well,' she added. Britain has very close ties with India. There were nearly 1.9 million people in the country of Indian descent, according to the 2021 U.K. census. Condolences also poured in from King Charles III, who said he and his wife, Queen Camilla, were 'desperately shocked' by the crash. 'Our special prayers and deepest possible sympathy are with the families and friends of all those affected by this appallingly tragic incident across so many nations,' he said in a statement. The last major passenger plane crash in India was in 2020, when an Air India Express Boeing 737 skidded off a hilltop runway in southern India, killing 21 people. The worst air disaster in India was on Nov. 12, 1996, when a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight collided midair with a Kazakhstan Airlines Flight near Charki Dadri in Haryana state, killing all 349 on board the two planes. The crash comes days before the opening of the Paris Air Show, a major aviation expo where Boeing and European rival Airbus will showcase their aircraft and battle for jet orders from airline customers. Boeing has been in recovery mode for more than six years after Lion Air Flight 610, a Boeing 737 Max 8, plunged into the Java Sea off the coast of Indonesia minutes after takeoff from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board. Five months later, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a Boeing 737 Max 8, crashed after takeoff from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, killing 157 passengers and crew members. Shares of Boeing Co. tumbled nearly 9% before trading opened in the U.S.

Kuwait oil tanker rescues 40 refugees stranded in the Mediterranean
KUWAIT CITY, June 12: In a remarkable humanitarian effort, the Kuwaiti oil tanker Al-Dasma, owned by the Kuwait Oil Tanker Company (KOTC), successfully rescued 40 refugees stranded at sea after their vessel broke down in the Mediterranean. The refugees, who had been left without food or water, were located and brought to safety during Al-Dasma's voyage to Egypt. In a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Thursday, KOTC confirmed that the rescue operation reflects Kuwait's steadfast commitment to international maritime principles and highlights its longstanding dedication to humanitarian causes. According to the company, the incident took place Tuesday evening, when Al-Dasma's crew spotted the distressed vessel while en route to Port Said. Coordinating swiftly with the Egyptian Search and Rescue Authority and the KOTC operations office, the tanker changed course to render assistance. The crew provided the stranded individuals with water, food, and temporary shelter. Upon arrival at Port Said, the rescued refugees were handed over to the appropriate Egyptian authorities on Thursday, following all necessary procedures in accordance with international maritime and humanitarian laws. KOTC noted that this was not the first time its fleet had participated in a life-saving mission. In a similar incident in 2014, the crude oil tanker Al-Salmi rescued a group of refugees off the coast of Italy — an operation that drew widespread international praise and was recognized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The company emphasized that safety at sea and the protection of the marine environment are core priorities in its operational strategy. It stressed that humanitarian efforts such as these reflect its dedication to integrating moral and ethical values into its commercial operations, reinforcing its leadership in the maritime transport industry. The Al-Dasma rescue mission, the statement added, serves as tangible proof of the company's ability to balance operational efficiency with humanitarian responsibility. It is also a reflection of the State of Kuwait's broader commitment to placing human dignity and life at the center of its global engagements, whether through its maritime fleet or developmental initiatives. 'Saving lives at sea is not only a legal obligation but also a moral duty,' the company stated. 'It represents the deeply rooted humanitarian values that define the State of Kuwait.'
