External links Early life and education Bianco studied philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy and Humanistic Studies, architecture and building engineering at the University of Malta, geology of building materials at the University of Leicester and modern architectural history at The Bartlett Graduate School, University College London. He completed his doctoral degree in architecture and politics from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Sofia. Throughout his long tertiary education spanning nearly fifteen years, his academic supervisors and mentors were leading professors in their respective disciplines: Richard England (architecture), Adrian Forty (architectural history), Veselina Troeva (urban design and planning), Miloslav Tochacek (structural Engineering), (late) Rev. Peter Serracino Inglott (philosophy) and (late) Anselm Dunham (geology). He is registered both as an architect and civil engineer with the KTP (Kamra tal-Periti, Malta) and also as an architect with CAB (Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria). Career Since 1994 he held various visiting teaching posts where he gave lectures on the philosophy of restoration of heritage sites, industrial and environmental geology and minerals planning. He is a member of the lecturing staff at the Department of Architecture and Urban Design of the University of Malta where he teaches and directs research on themes bordering on the history and philosophy of architecture. He is a professor of the International Academy of Architecture and a visiting professor in history and theory of urban design at the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Sofia. 1 In 1997 he set up Lino Bianco & Associates with the overall objective to render consultancy services in architecture and environmental planning to private and public agencies. The main consultancy services offered are architecture, urban design and environmental planning, including feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments. From 1997-8, he was Chairman of the Planning Council Malta and, from 1997 until 2000, a member of the Planning Appeals Board (Malta). He is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Housing Authority, Malta. International recognition Bianco holds the Eur. Ing. from FEANI (Fédération Européenne d'Associations Nationales d' Ingénieurs). He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (London) and of the Geological Society (London). In 2012, he was elected professor of the International Academy of Architecture at the World Triennial of Architecture held in Sofia in 2012, in recognition to his achievements in the development of contemporary architecture. He is one of the youngest architects ever to hold this prestigious post. 2 His architectural project for alterations and extension to a sub-standard, small, terraced house at Zabbar, Malta, received a special prize from the Ministry of Building of Ulyanovsk Region, Russia, for innovation in traditional architecture during the exhibition-competition held at InterArch2012. 3 Furthermore, in the international competition for the redevelopment of Via Roma, Agazzano, Italy, his project placed third. 4 Design philosophy The philosophy underlying his work integrates the tangible and intangible dimensions of a space within a given place. 5 He perceives architecture as an expression of life and as a natural extension to the environment, in which technology, construction material, settings, purpose, detail and methods of construction are unified. Shape, colour, space, light and time are merged with contextual sensitivity and design, whilst the uniqueness of the site's characteristics are exploited to the full. His multi-disciplinary interests are evident not only in the interdisciplinary projects which he directed but also in over 250 technical and scientific reports and publications which he authored related to his architectural consultancy on urban design and environmental planning .6 Selected projects Architectural ‘A Home for an Architect’, (Completed, 1998-2001), Zabbar, Malta 7 Entrances to Second World War shelter, (2005-2006), Zabbar, Malta 8 Shopping complex, (Completed 2008), Paola, Malta 9 Interpretation facility, (Design, 2008), Mgarr, Gozo 10 Apartments at Ħamrun, (Completed, 2008-11), Hamrun, Malta 11 Apartments at Nadur, (Design, 2009), Nadur, Gozo 12 Artisan Urban Hub, Place Lalla Yeddouna, Fez, Morocco (Competition entry, 2010) 13 Redevelopment of Via Roma, Agazzano, Italy (Competition entry, 2012). 14 Upgrading and restoration of the ‘Boutilliere’, Cogne, Valle d'Aosta, Italy (Competition entry, 2012). 15 Public spaces for Halte Ceva Champel Hopital, Genève (Competition entry, 2012) 16 Other Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Temples Conservation and Interpretation Project: Project Description Statement , 2004, (with Heritage Malta). 17 Mġarr ix-Xini Regional Park, 2004 to-date. 18 Revocation of planning permits at Ramla Bay, 2007. 19 Selected bibliography Hegel’s Notion of Gothic Architecture, in Melita Theologica , Vol. XLVII, No. 1 (1996), pp. 3- 15.

    Brian J. Dendle RICHARD ENGLAND, POET OF MALTA AND THE MIDDLE SEA To Richard England and Peter Serracino Inglott, in homage and friendship Richard England, the son of the Maltese architect Edwin Eng­ land Sant Fournier, was born in Sliema, Malta, 3 October 1937. He was educated at St. Edward's College (Cottonera, Malta), studied architecture at the (then) Royal University of Malta (1954-61) and at the Milan Polytechnic, and worked as a stu­ dent-architect in the studio of Gio Ponti in Milan (1960-62). Richard England's Maltese works include designs of numerous hotels (Ramla Bay Hotel, Paradise Bay Hotel, 1964; Dolmen Hotel, 1966; Cavalieri Hotel, 1968; Salina Bay Hotel, 1970), tourist villages, apartment complexes, bank buildings (Central Bank of Malta, Valletta, 1993), and the University of Malta campus extension (1990-1995). Richard England has also de­ signed residential and office complexes in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sardinia, and Argentina. His work has won numerous interna­ tional prizes and merited his inclusion among the 585 leading international architects treated in Contemporary Architects (London, 1994) and in the anthology of the 581 outstanding world architects published in Japan in 1995. Richard England's architecture is characterized by sim­ plicity and a respect for the "vernacular" tradition of Malta. His hotels, "low-lying, terraced structures built of concrete and local stone" (Abel, Manikata Church 39), disturb the landscape as little as possible. Michael Spens stresses "England's regionalism," with its roots in Maltese culture and pre-history SCRIPTA MEDITERRANEA, 1997, Vol. 18, 87 88 Brian f. Dendle (Spens 286) . Chris Abel points out the sculptural aspect of Eng­ land's buildings, "more Greek than Roman in spirit," "an archi­ tecture of shadow to create an architecture of light" (Trans­ formations 10).

  • Queensland Flag -AUSTRALIA
    MALTESE NEWSLETTER 43 MAY 2014 CONSULATE OF MALTA IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA NEWSLETTER MAY 2014 FRANK L SCICLUNA - LINKING MALTA AND AUSTRALIA EMAIL: [email protected] Website: www.ozmalta.page4.me Queensland flag -AUSTRALIA History of the State of Queensland flag The state flag was first introduced in 1876 when Queensland was a self-governing British colony with its own navy. In 1865, the Governor of Queensland was informed by the Admiralty in London that the colony's vessels of war should fly the Blue Ensign (British flag), with the colony's badge on the stern, and a blue pennant at the masthead. Other vessels in the colony's service were to fly the same flag, but not the pennant. At that time, Queensland did not have a badge https://www.qld.gov.au/about/how-government- works/flags-emblems-icons/state-badge/ . This prompted the submission to London of a proposed badge design. In 1875, the Governor received drawings of the badges of several colonies from London, which the Admiralty proposed to include in the Admiralty Flag Book. The Governor was asked to certify that the badge shown for the colony of Queensland was correct. The badge was composed of a representation of Queen Victoria's head, facing right, on a blue background and encircled by a white band, with the . word Queensland at the top. The Queensland Government believed it would be too difficult to adequately reproduce the head of the Queen on a flag. An alternative design, a Royal Crown superimposed on a Maltese Cross, was then submitted to London.

  • Dominant Metaphor in Maltese Literature
    Abstract This study deals with the way Malta has been represented in poetry and narrative written in Maltese. Metaphor, with its ability to stretch language and thought beyond its elastic limit, has played a fundamental role in the forging of the national imaginary that lies at the junction between real history and literary texts. On one hand, the conventional conceptual metaphors of the mother, home, traveller, and village are rooted in conventional conceptions of the nation; on the other, the relocation of the motherland in the sea marks a return to and a reinterpretation of the figure of the mother. While conventional conceptual metaphors have the potential to structure the concept of the nation by imagining the unimagined, fresh conceptual metaphors simultaneously create and defy that new structure.

  • THE RIGHTS of FUTURE GENERATIONS: SOME SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL CONSIDERATIONS Peter Serracino Inglott
    MELITA THEOLOGICA Vol XXXIII 1982 Nos 1-2 THE RIGHTS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS: SOME SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL CONSIDERATIONS Peter Serracino Inglott 1. The Am,e:rican Philosophical Associatl~on, in the February 1973 lssue of its Bulletin (No. 14), requested contribut'~ons on the topic: "Can it be asserted that future generations have rights, for exampl~, to pure air?" The response raised two second-order questions: (a) why did the participants find so little explicit discussion of the problem to w.ork upon? (b) why did they find so much interest in it now? The paradox in the conjunotion 'Of these two questions is not very difficult to resolve: rthe problem has only become real recently. The reasons for its late emergence, however, may well deserve stating. 2. Human beings have differed greatly in the acoounts they have given of the concept of "justice"; they have spelt out the meaning and the practical implications of such phrases as "giving everyone his due" in many different ways. But they have always agreed on a number of basic points. The first point is tnfllt justice is eS3entiai to human convivia1Uy; secondly, that justice is not merely a matter concerning the relations betweenoille individual and another; in traditional terms, "commutative justice"; it also implies duties of individuals towards the community or communities to Wlhich they belong; in traditional terms, "social justice". Thirdly, the concept of justice is l!ogically connected with the concepts of "equality" and "proportion"; hence the requirement ,that an individual contribute to the welfare of the community has particulaa- relevance to the question of proper conduct towards the needier and weaker members of mankind.

  • Museums' Education and Cultural Contestation. the Case of the Malta Maritime Museum
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM Museums’ Education and Cultural Contestation. The case of the Malta Maritime Museum. Carmel Borg, Bernard Cauchi and Peter Mayo University of Malta This paper deals with the role of museums as sites of cultural politics. The focus is exclusively on one specific museum, namely the National Maritime Museum located in the maritime city of Birgu in the south of Malta. It provides a chronicle of events leading to the establishment of the museum, a detailed account of the permanent exhibition housed within the building, background information regarding the surrounding localities and an account of views, deriving from taped interviews with key informants from the area, regarding the relationship between the museum and its surrounding communities. Whose voice/s does the museum represent and celebrate and which relevant voices are overlooked? These questions are examined within the context of power-knowledge relations. The paper concludes with a discussion concerning the museum‟s potential in furnishing visitors with a decolonising space for cultural contestation and renewal. Introduction This paper, written in the hope that it resonates with the thinking of those who explore the interface between museums and their surrounding communities in other parts of the Mediterranean region, draws on recent studies by Borg and Mayo (2000a & b). These recent studies deal with museums as sites of cultural politics; they focus on a cross section of museums in Malta and explore their potential as educational sites. The approach in these earlier studies is comprehensive in scope.
