In
G
racing the cover of the magazine is the
facade of St Rita Cloister in St Julian's,
an MASP nominated project by Paul
Camilleri and Associates in the category of
conservation and rehabilitiation. According to
Perit Camilleri, it is "the clean, methodical, correct
'no-frills' physical restoration of the building and
its rehabilitation into a peaceful 'oasis' located
within an area of frenetic activity surrounded by a
completely different architectural idiom" that sets
this project apart.
Camilleri's work has been showcased beyond these
shores as is the case with the 22-storey 'Saudi Ports
Authority' building and the construction of the 'Gulf
Cooperation Council' (GCC) conference centre in
the Riyadh Diplomatic Quarters in Saudi Arabia.
In this edition we meet up with the man behind
the firm, Perit Paul Camilleri himself and his son
Perit Matias Camilleri de Marco, who has followed
in his father's footsteps. We speak to them about
the inspirations they held along the years, which
projects they're most proud of, which Malta
architecture pleases them and which hurts.
This and so much more in another edition of
Architecture & Design.
