With Sdarch Trivelli & Associati
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Constitution of Kuwait, Al Amiri Diwan, the government agency, decided to build a park in Kuwait City to host “The Constitution”, a monument celebrating the path to democracy of the State of Kuwait. In 2011 Al Amiri Diwan set up an invited competition for a site close to the sea; then in 2012 SdARCH Trivelli & Associati with Alhadeff Architects were commissioned to develop the competition design on another site called Martyrs’ Park, where a Museum is also under construction.
The garden is divided into two areas, “Old Age” and “New Age”. The monument marks the transition from the old era that represents the pre-Constitution period and the new era, the period after the establishment of the State of Kuwait.
