HYPER IDENTITY: THE CASE OF KUWAITI ARCHITECTURE

Yasser Mahgoub    

Resumen

paper concludes that cultural identity is a meaning making process, multiple identities exist at the same time and transforms from one state to another adjusting to external pressures and circumstances. The paper recommends that when searching for cultural identity, one should expect to find several overlapping identities. In sum, a more open-endedapproach is required when studying cultural identities that stresses the hybrid and hyper nature of culture identity; a hyper-identity.
