Notes
"The Hawalli residential complex consists of interconnected six-story brick apartment blocks with characteristic round arches." (Kultermann).
Here, Chadiri adopts a direction that could lead to an appropriate modernist articulation of an Arab identity; this was later emulated by other architects.
