Kuwait's architecture is a combination of old and new; traditional and modern; simple and extravagant.
Kuwait's old houses were simple structures, but adorned with paintings, mosaic patterns and ornamentation. A typical house had a central courtyard with a series of rooms built around it. The Bayt-Al-Bader, Sadu House, Dickson House are among the few houses that remain intact giving us an insight into Kuwaiti architecture 150 years ago. The construction activity that took place during the oil boom years was more focussed on gigantic towers and eight-lane motorways where the design was completely modern. The reconstruction of Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion saw a different style. The buildings are modern but they retain traditional design.
They incorporate the latest architectural technology as well as elements of traditional Islamic design such as the central courtyard, fountains etc. The Kuwait Towers, the national symbol, can be seen from most angles within Kuwait City and the areas around it. It comprises three towers, one of them boasts an observation deck that gives a panoramic view of Kuwait City and the Arabian Gulf.
The National Assembly Building, designed by the famous architect who designed the Sydney Opera House, is a cement structure based on the form of a Bedouin Tent.
The Grand Mosque is the largest and most modern of Mosques, decorated with Islamic designs and calligraphy both on the inside and outside.
The 220 ft tall Liberation Tower is another example of Kuwaiti contemporary architecture. Its construction was halted because the Iraqi invasion.
The work continued in 1993 and the tower was officially opened on March 10, 1996, hence the name "Liberation Tower".
Many of the world's greatest architects have contributed to the skyline of Kuwait.
Kuwait City (Arabic: مدينة الكويت, transliteration: Madīnat al-Kūwait), is the capital and largest city of Kuwait. It has an estimated population of 63,600 (2006 estimate) within city limits and 2.38 million in the metropolitan area. Located at the heart of the country on the shore of the Persian Gulf, and containing Kuwait's parliament (Majlis Al-Umma), most governmental offices, the headquarters of most Kuwaiti corporations and banks, it is the indisputable political, cultural and economic center of the emirate.
The Liberation Tower (2nd highest building on the right of the photo) is the highest structure in Kuwait. Construction of the tower commenced before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. It was meant to be called The Kuwait Telecommunications Tower. When the invasion took place, construction, which was almost half-way complete, was put on hold. However, the structure received no damage, and construction resumed after Saddam Hussein's forces were expelled on February 27, 1991. Upon completion in 1993, the tower was renamed the Liberation Tower, symbolizing Kuwait's liberation from Iraq. The tower contains a revolving restaurant and observation platform (in the first disc-shaped pod; now closed to the public for security reasons), and also houses radio and other telecommunications offices. The structure stands at 372 meters high (1,220 ft) at its pinnacle. The roof of the second pod on the tower is 308 meters high (1,010 ft). It is similar to the CN Tower because both contain a revolving restaurant, observation platform, telecommunications equipment and the same look.
As in all Middle East, the city skyline is constantly changing also in Kuwait City . The tower on the very right is a new addition to the city scape. Weather across Middle East has changed in last few days and Kuwait is experiencing humidity over 80% from its usual 10%. Change of weather has brought some clouds to Kuwaiti sky, which beautifully enhance colors in the evening sky.

For the paltry sum of just £10million Kuwait earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records last night as it celebrated the golden jubilee anniversary of its constitution in style by laying on the biggest fireworks display of all time.
A dazzling array of colours illuminated the skies above the country's capital of Kuwait City as a staggering 77,282 fireworks were launched over the period of an hour.
A representative of Guinness World Records announced the achievement on Kuwait television at the end of the display which had been watched by tens of thousands of Kuwaitis and expatriates on the Arabian Gulf Road by the sea.
The visual presentation marked 50 years to the day since the late emir Sheikh Abdullah al-Salem al-Sabah announced that Kuwait had become the first Arab state in the Gulf to issue a constitution and have a parliament.
Before the festivities Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah pledged the government's continuing commitment to democracy and made a plea for national unity as the wealthy Gulf state struggles with a political crisis.
