Kuwait Urban Greenery Centre

Client	Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR)
Budget	Confidential
Period	2012 - Ongoing

The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) has appointed CBA's design team in association with local consultant PACE to masterplan, design, and deliver an innovative 'green' visitor centre and demonstration landscape for urban areas. On a 5 hectare site, it will promote more sustainable practices in the creation of urban landscapes in arid Gulf Cities. A blend of research, education, and visitor experiences, it will explore how appropriate indigenous plants and ecosystems can contribute to 'greening' of urban areas without an over dependence on exotic and ornamental landscapes now so common in the Gulf area.
