The design proposal for the General Department of Information System, GDIS, in Kuwait, developed by AGi architects in collaboration with Bonyan Design, is based on three principles: representativeness, security and functionality, turning the complex, with a total gross area of 135,482 sqm, into a strong civil icon representing Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior Affairs. Building design aims for the clear transmission of a conceptual duality it derives from: technology, innovation and transparency versus strength, stability and security, which are inherent to the Ministry of Interior Affairs.
