29 Maltese architects have been awarded their warrants in order to start practicing their profession professionally in a sector where demand is still as high as ever.
The warrants were awarded by parliamentary secretary for public works Omar Farrugia. During the event Farrugia spoke about how architects are not only needed for the development of the country but more importantly for the sustainable development of the country.
He went on to say “I encourage architects to be bold in their visions and not let anyone limit their dreams. Bold initiatives are the ones that change the world. The future of Malta is in their hands, and I am convinced that architects are ready to elevate the level of our architecture.”
He concluded his speech by reminding that every building they create, every space they design, is the legacy they will leave behind. It is important that this legacy reflects their passion, innovation, and commitment to the great profession of architecture.
The Chairperson of the Warranting Board for Architects, Frank Psaila, also addressed the ceremony. He explained that since the establishment of this board in August 2022, 226 warrants have been issued. He also described how, in recent years, several necessary and bold reforms have been implemented in this field.
“The reforms place responsibility on everyone, especially the architects. My appeal remains for responsibility in the decisions they make, while being proud of their profession and using it to create beauty that can be enjoyed for generations to come,” reiterated Dr. Psaila.
