interesting tabel of contents.. i will try to get a hold of one copy.

iv seen only one copy.. during the conference they held at Salwa venue in marina maybe a yr ago.. writings and of course design are excelent.

can we see more CRITIQUE of Kuwaiti architecture.. and especially urban planning and its interaction with the Kuwaiti individual psyche? i think our temper is highly corelated with the abscence of the right urban design of the previous year of faulty designs.

I have an article in the one you got :)
their will be copies ;)

my 1st post = article of 2nd issue

this summer i wrote an article about urban scale of Kuwait for one of the University magazines, in arabic.. i think it's good, i worked on it to have a comprehensive look over Kuwait, and i wish it can help a bit..

_well what i am concerned more about, is THE RESPONSE of the said or written critiques, you should have seen my face confronting that guy in Baladiya.
i only want to learn what is general!! and from a kuwaiti person.
coz in fact i don't want to criticize, i wanna fix what should be fixed! i don't want to listen to useless exclamations, coz they're waste of time!

not even from Saba Shiber.

Kuwaiti people are the only ones who can understand Kuwait.
and there should be only two or three real estate companies, Kuwait is too small to have real estates processes in such variety!
(it's ok, i always get moved by this subject)
of course there should be different views, but this is mine so far

:)

and oh i passed by this SIFC site today, it looks better than the images, but i should come in the morning. b3d i got the raya view which is kinda far, it's good that they made this relief between the two buildings.

Thanks Simper, really really do appreciate your comments :)

send me your p.o.box and i will send you all the copies if you want. same to you purplecious :)

my articles are all here in the blog:
1st issue:my diaries: to escape
2nd issue: How to Trace Kuwait City Map
3rd issue: no articles/ well i wrote something that has a very indirect relationship with the signature so it is better for them not to place it, and it is also here in the blog (nisait shisimha) bas it has equations and stuff :)
