Award-winning architect Alison Brooks and Italian architect Claudio Silvestrin are just two of the big-names who will kick off the 2nd edition of the popular Architecture Alive as of this october.

Architecture Alive is a stimulating project hosted by local architectural and urban design firm studjurban and the Planning Authority Authority, through which world-renowned architects are invited to present and discuss their projects, highlighting their achievements and challenges and recounting personal narratives, using the projects as a visual basis.

The 2019/2020 season will start with award-winning architect Alison Brooks, Principal and Creative Director of Alison Brooks Architects and one of the leading architects of her generation. Alison Brooks will take to the stage on Saturday 19th October 2019 at the Malta National Community Art Museum (MUZA) in Valletta. Her firm has won numerous international awards and has developed a reputation for delivering design excellence and innovation in projects ranging from urban regeneration, master planning, public buildings for the arts, higher education and housing.

In November, at the Italian Cultural Institute, in Valletta Italian architect and designer Claudio Silvestrin will be the second guest speaker to share his experiences. Architect Silvestrin studied under the famous A.G. Fronzoni in Milan and at the Architectural Association in London. His interest in philosophy, his vision, his integrity, clarity of mind, inventiveness and concern for details are reflected in his distinctive architecture: austere but not extreme, contemporary yet timeless, calming but not ascetic, strong but not intimidating, elegant but not ostentatious, simple but not soulless.

The Architecture Alive series will continue in 2020 with a further three talks between January and May.
