Design BRIDGING the past to the present iMNG Ltd , the publishers of Design and Build , launched the Malta Architect Awards earlier this year with the support of the Planning Authority as well as that of Jaguar . The work on the Gozo “Cittadella” project by Perit Martin Xuereb collected two prestigious awards: the Rehabilitation and Conservation Award and the Award in the Public Building category. Design and Build felt that such an achievement deserved to be featured here and asked Perit Xuereb to take us behind the scenes of what actually went on since the project got the green light in 2014. words - John r.
