An article in The Guardian by Jonathan Glancey provides an interesting look into British architecture and how to 'read' it. I quoted a part of the article below because I think it best sums up the idea behind urban communication and how you can interpret architecture as a language.
"...the buildings surrounding you can truly take the place of text. One day, you won't need a guide to help you listen to the story of architecture. You'll have become fluent in a language at once as old as the pyramids and as contemporary as a swooping design by Zaha Hadid."
It would be interesting to take a similar approach to Kuwaiti architecture!
