The evolution of Maltese balconies On March 17 at 19:00, Flimkien għal-Ambjent Aħjar (FAA) will be holding a talk on the origins and development of Maltese Balconies at the Corinthia Palace Hotel, Attard, which will be presented by Adrian Strickland. During this lecture, the audience will discover various facts about how the styles and construction of Maltese balconies evolved through the ages, as well as the origins of the word 'Gallarija' itself. A former TV news cameraman, a territorial soldier and ambassador for Malta in the Netherlands, Adrian Strickland has been researching and documenting Maltese balconies for decades. His talk will feature a 40-year collection of photos illustrating the range and contrasting architectural styles of local balconies, old and new, as well as some surprising modern balcony designs from elsewhere in Europe. Strickland will also be exploring the changes in usage of balconies from their early fortification function to becoming an essential part of everyday life for our grandparents, the changes in modern balcony usage and technology and what the future holds for Maltese balconies. Guests are requested to be seated by 18:45, and a €5 donation towards FAA's art restoration project is kindly requested.
