The Valletta Design Cluster wins two prestigious Malta Planning Authority Awards

Earlier today, architect Vincent Cassar, officially presented Valletta Cultural Agency Chairman Jason Micallef with, the two Awards that the Valletta Design Cluster won during the MASP Awards, an event organised by the Planning Authority. These two awards are the Rehabilitation and Conservation Award, and the Public Open Spaces Award.

The Valletta Design Cluster and the rooftop garden of this building – a legacy project of Valletta 2018 European Capital of Culture which were inaugurated earlier in 2021 – form part of the community space for cultural and creative practice situated in the renovated Old Abattior building (il-Biċċerija) in Valletta, Malta. The main aim of the Valletta Design Cluster is to provide a space and opportunies to Malta’s cultural and creative operators working in the field of design. This project, which falls under the responsibility of the Valletta Cultural Agency, was partially funded by European funds and cost €10.4 million in total.

Mr Micallef thanked the Restoration Directorate under the direction of Architect Norbert Gatt, the architect in charge of the project Amanda-Jane DeGiovanni, Japanese Architect Tetsuo Kondo, as well as all contractors and all those who worked on this project, which has now become a gem in the lower Valletta area. Mr Jason Micallef said that today this place is a living testimony to the legacy and sustainability of economic, social and cultural regeneration brought about by Valletta 2018.
