So she’s the new Peter Serracino Inglott then?

If so, I’m glad she’s finally repaying the debt. An ambassadorship is one hell of an iced bun.

There is no such application on the MEPA server.

Surely this should undergo the same process and scrutiny as the Four Cavaliers statue. Is this a case of the Monti reallocation process being decided by the PM and therefore excluded from the normal MEPA process?

Surely we should be hearing the opinions of professional bodies such as the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage amongst the other consultative bodies. Can someone please clarify. I am totally miffed.

Now that you brought up the subject, I can’t bear Tony Dimech’s reporting on TVM news, particularly his penchant of finishing all words with an ‘aa’ such as Kunsill-aa, flus-aa. Check it out in half an hour. So annoying.

While we are supposed to have so much more access to ideas, with the world at our fingertips, I am sickened that the designs architects, bar very few, produce are replete with graffiato or balavostri.

It seems that these two elements have encapsulated our identity. We speak of the beautiful houses in old Sliema…why were they beautiful? Is it because today we appreciate Art Nouveau and Art Deco?

In the days they were built they were contemporary as Piano’s design is today. The difference is that they were built by people who not only could afford to build but who had also a true appreciation and sense of beauty. Today we have money but a jaded and very kitsch sense of aesthetic.

The Chamber of Architects had published a document DOCOMOMO in which were listed the modern buildings in Malta and Gozo which were worthy of scheduling.

This was taken on board by the authorities eventually, but only after great and heated discussion instigated by persons who could not stomach that one architect’s buildings merited protection while most of the others were mundane.

This project is really taghna lkoll and everyone who feels offended by Muscat’s Monti project should protest.

Because he/she is not sure if what is being said is what the big boss wants to hear. So go fast maybe the boss doesn’t understand anything.
