During the course of the Modern Architecture Kuwait 1949-89 exhibition, today, Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah hosted a series of architecture debates with local and foreign practitioners. This series intends to clarify information to the local community and explode common misconceptions regarding national architecture. The uncertain relationship with Kuwait’s national history and architectural heritage is a major loss for the country and a missed opportunity to investigate the nation’s “modern” state foundation. The participants in tonight’s debate are Italian architect Roberto Fabbri and Kuwaiti architect Nasser Abu Al Hasan.
