The phenomenon of expressing cultural identity in architecture is apparent in many parts of the world: this paper examines it in the context of Kuwait. It focuses on architects, and the strategies they use in expressing cultural identity. The aim is to understand their views and current efforts in this context. In Kuwait, architecture has passed through dramatic transformations during the second half of the twentieth century that were the result of economic, regional and global changes. A survey of the views of eighteen Kuwaiti architects was conducted using focused interviews and a standardised questionnaire. Examples of their projects were analysed to illustrate their views and ways of thinking. The study concluded that there were several strategies employed by Kuwaiti architects to express a Kuwaiti cultural identity in their work. A three- dimensional matrix was developed to illustrate the relationship between the ranges of these strategies and architecture in Kuwait. It is hoped that this matrix will be useful for practitioners and critics of contemporary architecture in Kuwait interested in understanding current trends in achieving a cultural identity in architecture.

Architecture is the art of spaces. The human feelings were influenced by architectural
space from time to time. Relating to the design of a history museum, it could evoke a
certain feeling or memory of a historical event. This dissertation focuses on the
influence of architectural space over period of times.
A theoretical as well as practical key issue in the design of museum and galleries is how
the layout of space interacts with displays to create a specific effect, express the intended
message to visitors. This dissertation aims to capture and represent the history of

Le grand projet de transformation urbaine de Bilbao a été présélectionné par le comité d’experts de la chaire comme l’une des actions des plus remarquables et emblématiques du marketing territorial de la dernière décennie, notamment en matière d’architecture, d’urbanisme et d’aménagement. Au-delà du rôle essentiel du Musée Guggenheim, c’est en effet la gouvernance, l’ensemble des actions menées par les acteurs locaux dans leur stratégie de rénovation et d’attractivité, en incluant les nouveaux projets et les démarches en cours, ainsi que les résultats obtenus - popularité de ‘l’effet Guggenheim’, nouvelle image, retombées touristiques et économiques (Apport de 1.57 milliard € à l'économie basque, 45 000 emplois directs ou indirects générés entre 1997 et 2011), diversification de l’économie locale et régionale, fierté des habitants etc.)- qui ont retenu toute notre attention. Le musée Guggenheim est devenu le symbole du succès de Bilbao mais c’est aussi une réussite exemplaire en tant que musée en terme économique et social. Il a de plus nourri une politique originale de création de musées (Guggenheim network) et d’expositions (BMW-Guggenheim Lab, laboratoire de l’innovation urbaine) dans le monde sous le pilotage de la fondation Guggenheim.
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM (BILBAO), The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, and located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain.

Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
