Masterplan of the Maltese Islands

The University Institute of Architecture of Venice (IUAV) is in charge, together with other European institutes and design companies, of drawing up the new masterplan of the Maltese islands.

A theme of great interest for the quality of the island landscape, the widespread use of tuff as building material and the mixture of local construction culture with that of Anglo-Saxon origin.

Alberto Cecchetto deals in particular with the reorganization of public and collective spaces, straddling historical settlements and new expansions, proposing solutions and building models to sew urban fabrics capable of requalifying the voids and open spaces and intercluded between buildings, creating polarities, collective places in urban portions, in the most recent plots.
