maltatoday | SUNDAY • 8 JANUARY 2023 9 COMMERCIAL the Architectural Engineer- ing Award. Behind every great piece of architecture is superb engineering. is award will recognise projects that excel in structural engineering and push the boundaries of architecture through creative engineering. Mr Gingell continued "Anoth- er major change relates to the evaluation stage. As of this year, participants will have the oppor- tunity to give a 5-minute pres- entation for the projects they would have submitted. is will enable the jury members, espe- cially the foreign experts, to have a more holistic viewpoint and learn more about each project before deciding which the win- ning projects should be." "Next year we plan to take the winning projects of the past two editions closer to the people, by having an outdoor life size roadshow exhibition visit a number of lo- calities." highlighted Mr Gingell. e President's Award will once again feature prominently in this year's edition. To date, this prestigious prize was award- ed to dsitinguished professionals including Perit Konrad Buha- giar, Perit Joseph Spiteri (post humous) and Dr Perit Godwin Cassar. With many possible names on the cards, this award will be given to a person who made an outstanding contri- bution over the years through research, education, theory or practice of architecture and the built environment. "As we invite entries for this year's edition, we want to take a moment to express our appreci- ation for all MASP Award-win- ning Periti and designers, whose innovative ideas, forward-think- ing mindset and meticulous work inspires the collective de- sign quality change we need in our built environment. For this we remain grateful!". e Awards Ceremony for the 4th edition will be held on Sat- urday 1st April 2023.
