About	The Telecommunication Centre, which was inaugurated on 15 March 1996, is located in the heart of Kuwait City and stands on an area of 21 thousand square meters. The Liberation Tower is the most important component of this centre. Its height of 372 meters makes it the fourth highest tower after those in Toronto, Moscow, and Germany. The tower is comprised of two main parts: the lower part, which is built of concrete, represents the main skeleton of the tower, meanwhile the upper part is a post made of metal. The middle part of the tower is a wide public reception hall of 1500 meters which features a restaurant, a cafeteria and a platform to view Kuwait's landmarks. There are seven wireless transmission stands, which serve domestic and international communication. Liberation Tower is not only a touristic landmark in both Kuwait and the Gulf region but also a principal link between Kuwait and the outside world. Construction of the tower started in April 1987, and was stopped because of the Iraqi aggression on Kuwait. After liberation, construction work was resumed and the tower was officially inaugurated on 10 March 1996.

You really are opening my eyes up to the wonderful modern architecture over in Kuwait - thanks.

I did Civil Engineering as a degree so it's a definite interest.

Cheers
