In December, 2005, The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, in association with the Kuwait Society of Engineers, organized an international seminar in Kuwait City entitled "Architectural Journalism and Criticism." The event brought together academics, architects, engineers and journalists from five continents to discuss the role of architectural journalists, critics, and media, as well as their relations with practitioners.

Proceedings from the seminar were collected in the book Architectural Criticism and Journalism: Global Perspectives, which is newly available on ArchNet. The publication includes written contributions from over thirty critics and participants, as well as a selection of color photographs depicting Kuwait City architecture and urban spaces, taken by photographer Kamran Adle.
