Özet:
This qualitative study defines traditional housing identity (prior to 1952) and contemporary housing identity in Kuwait. It also probes the continuity between traditional and contemporary housing identities in the country. In-depth interviews were conducted with some of the older Kuwaiti population, as well as some young Kuwaiti residents as the primary sources of data for the research. The older participants' group consisted of Kuwaitis who had lived in traditional houses and those who had not lived in traditional houses, but have experienced the period when many traditional houses existed. The study reveals that there is a continuity between traditional and contemporary housing identities. Further, it demonstrates that Kuwaiti inhabitants are moving away from their traditional lifestyles to more urban-western lifestyles. This movement has reflected individuality and self-identity representation of homeowners in housing design. The study reveals that there are seven dimensions of meaning associated with a Kuwaiti home, which are: home as a place of continuity for extended family living under one roof, home as a place to live, home as a place of either high or low social interaction, home as a place of rest, relaxation, and amenities, home as a place of more privacy, home as a place to perform tasks and activities, and home as a personal representation and self-identity. Indeed, it defines the dimensions that represent core and peripheral cultural meanings of a Kuwait home.
