The fourth year architectural exhibition by students from the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Malta is a yearly event organised by the students themselves whereby they take the opportunity to display their work to the general public and profession alike. This year, it is being held from Saturday through and up to the 3 September at the Valletta Waterfront, Vault 17.
The work that is compiled and presented in the exhibition is the result of months of work during the design studio sessions in the scholastic year of 2005/06. The students that are presenting their work come from three different streams, namely the Architectural Studio, the Structural Studio, and the Urban Design Studio. Together, they promote future talent and present works in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, town planning, landscape architecture and interior design.
The exhibition takes the form of final presentation drawing print outs that are mounted onto boards, working 3D architectural models and computer generated power point presentations. In this collection of works and presentations, the students deal and aim at creating awareness within present architectural, structural, and environmental issues.
The student exhibition is taking place in conjunction with the launch of Architecture Nights 2006, a series of events organised by the Chamber of Architects, to be held in the same venue.
