Heritage Village

For Ministry of Culture

Kuwait 2014

 

As a part of permanent exhibition in Kuwait, each of the gulf countries is to display their heritage, identity and culture in a building.

 

In the elongated building, the proposal creates a sequential experience throughout a slice of a village, traveling through spatial cross-sections of Bahrain:

​

1- Palm trees farm, to start with what the island was

    known for, the country of million palm trees.

2- The alleys of the residential area and the

    courtyard houses.

3- The market with the old cafe’.

4- Finally the sea at the end of the journey, to

    display the pearling experience.

 

A sensory experience that celebrates sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.

​

A journey that starts and ends with nature.
