        File contains 6 drawings (3 site plans, 3 exterior perspectives), ink on bond, as well as 22 photographic prints of model. The medium density and medium rise residential community was planned for approximately 5,000 people in 900 units for average income families. The units were further subdivided into nine neighbourhood clusters containing 20 dwelling units sharing the circulation space and community facilities, such as schools, mosques, shops, recreation and open spaces. This density resulted in a stepped back building form that is eight storeys in height. The A-frame space provides a shaded and naturally ventilated inner street for community facilities in a richly landscaped setting. The project was not executed; the design and documentation were not completed

        File includes 1 site plan, 1 presentation board (title block with prints of model and drawing of site plan), and 5 photographic prints of model. The Government of Kuwait initiated the development plan for a new town envisioned as a major urban centre. The Fintas Centre was to accommodate retail and commercial office space, as well as focus on clinics, cinemas, recreation, parking, a botanical garden, and a market, serving a population of 500 000. The site was a vacant rectangular superblock approximately 1 hectare, situated between the Fahaheel Expressway and the As Safar Motorway. It is west of the existing town of Fintas. Some traditional housing exists on the eastern edge of the Fintas superb lock. The mall is wrapped in a wall of parking garages simulating a walled city. There are four gates at the cardinal points: two of which enter low rise office buildings; one a conservatory surrounded by a hotel, library and theatre; and one on a bridge which links the east and the west sides of the centre.
