Following a law passed in 2004 alleviating maximum building height, historic architecture in Kuwait City is under threat of demolition and replacement by high rise buildings. The impact is three-fold: first, the demolition of historic properties - many of which are the result of 20th century Modern Movement and are a local embodiment of the country's "Golden Age" following the discovery of oil. Second, the consequent environmental impact -the loss of buildings that may have already been designed to adapt to climatic conditions by integrating passive design features. Third, the proactive depletion of embodied carbon stocks amidst a local and global need to draw down carbon emissions. This study looks to comparatively evaluate the individual performance and life cycle assessment of two commercial building developments:An existing building attributed to the said Modern Movement, which calls for a lower carbon capital investment.A high-performance high rise (eligible for LEED Gold certification), which significantly increases the built floor area on the site, and thus allows for increased economic productivity, and maintains low/efficient operational energy use per square meter.The results identify a preliminary framework for policy makers to evaluate the priorities in historic designation/building reuse and high-performance urban development.
