You could see why they are currently the top-ranked team in the world. It gets worse, Die Mannschaft boasts of a squad with two most fundamental ingredients which have proven essential for World Cup glory, skill, and experience. Nine of the players that led the nation to the 2014 triumph are still pretty much an integral element of this years’ troops and some players like Mario Gotze who scored the winning goal in Brazil 2014, has been replaced by better options in Joachim Low’s wisdom.

  • Building for Oil: Corporate Colonialism, Nationalism and Urban Modernity in Ahmadi, 1946-1992
    Building for Oil: Corporate Colonialism, Nationalism and Urban Modernity in Ahmadi, 1946-1992 By Reem IR Alissa A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Grieg Crysler Professor Teresa Caldeira Fall 2012 Abstract Building for Oil: Corporate Colonialism, Nationalism and Urban Modernity in Ahmadi, 1946-1992 By Reem IR Alissa Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Located at the intersection of oil and space, this dissertation highlights the role of oil as an agent of political, social and cultural change at the level of the everyday urban experience by introducing the oil company town as a modern architectural and urban planning prototype that has been largely neglected in the Middle East. Using the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) town of Ahmadi as a case in point this article offers a new history of oil, architecture and urbanism in Kuwait since 1946. Apart from oil dictating Ahmadi’s location and reason for being various actors were complicit in the creation and playing out of Ahmadi’s urban modernity: British KOC officials, the company’s architectural firm Wilson Mason & Partners, nationalism, the process of Kuwaitization, Ahmadi’s architecture and urbanism, and, especially, the town’s residents. I argue that Ahmadi’s colonial modernity which was initially targeted at the expatriate employees of the company during the 1950s, was later adopted by KOC’s Kuwaiti employees after the country’s independence in 1961, and in turn mediated a drastically new lifestyle, or urban modernity, during the 1960s and 1970s.
