Souq Sharq. This architectural phenomenon is one of the very first shopping malls in Kuwait. I personally believe that this mall has the most beautiful design when compared with the others and is truly one of a kind. I might be biased when it comes to this as it reminds me of my childhood days spent running around those water sprinklers, watching the water spray from side to side while cutting through it.
Of course the most attractive part of this mall is the marina. You can just sit on one of those benches
and look out into the lovely waterfront. Its a great place to visit even if you weren't shopping.
The Architect of this masterpiece is Iranian which is quite evident as you can really sense some Middle Eastern designs throughout every inch of the building.
The overall design of Souq Sharq is very traditional and Middle Eastern. As found in many of the buildings in Kuwait, pillars are very often used by architects. The photograph above also shows that many there are many details carved and placed in the design.
Below in the picture is another example of the usage of pillars which, as you can see, has a beautiful effect.
