Txog AUM British Building Tsev Kawm Ntawv Qib Siab Thaj Chaw

AUM British Building yog ib lub tsev kawm ntawv qib siab thaj chaw uas tsim rau hauv ib lub tsev keeb kwm qub txeeg qub teg ntawm xyoo pua 19 nyob rau hauv Senglea. Lub tsev raug puas tsuaj hnyav heev thaum Tsov Rog Ntiaj Teb Zaum Ob thiab tom qab ntawd tsis muaj neeg siv lawm. Cov ntaub ntawv keeb kwm qub raug kho ua tib zoo, thiab lub tsev raug kho dua tshiab kom siv tau rau tiam tam sim no. Lub thaj chaw kawm ntawv muaj cov chav kawm, cov chav sim tshawb fawb, cov chaw ua hauj lwm, ib lub tsev khaws ntawv, ib lub vaj hauv tsev thiab ib lub khw noj mov uas tseem qhib rau pej xeem sawv daws. Cov ntaub ntawv tsim tiam tam sim no raug xaiv kom pom sib txawv ntawm cov qub. Cov kav dej kav hluav taws xob uas pom tseeb thiab cov nqaj hlau riveted ua rau nco txog lub neej industrial yav dhau los.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: This 19th century building was severely damaged during WWII and later fell into disuse. Through EM Architects' design interventions, the building was brought back to life with a renewed purpose to serve Senglea in a new way. As well as restoring the historic fabric in a meticulous fashion, the overall building was also rehabilitated in order to usher the building into the current age whilst at the same time managing to showcase its stunning historic elements. The guiding principle behind this project remained the act of showcasing this heritage building as a protagonist of design.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: Building is 19.6 high, 194m wide, 15.6m deep
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Restoration, rehabiliation, heritage, industrial, university
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: Contemporary materials were chosen purposely so as to be visually distinguishable from the original historic fabric. This distinction is essential in order to delineate the contemporary interventions within the important timeline of this building. At its inception, this building was born out of golden Globigerina Limestone and raw steel elements, showcasing the fusion between the British Neo-Classical style and local quarried materials.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: The main challenge of this project presented itself in the form of an existing dilapidated building, whereby its extensive character and value had been left to decay. The means by which this challenge was overcome was by successfully ushering this building into the contemporary age whilst also preserving and highlighting its original character. New volumes had to be created within and onto the existing historical fabric which was no small challenge.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: Our design began with analyzing the past history and also current situation of the area, to ensure that the restoration of such buildings would also serve to accelerate the urban regeneration of the entire area. Various historical documents, for example the text "The Malta Grand Harbour and Its Dockyard" by Bonnici and Cassar and drawings were analysed, including maps dating back to the 1840s.
Kev Txhawb Siab: The building's rich industrial past served as the main source of inspiration which informed the majority of design decisions taken throughout the design process. This was reflected in the intentionally exposed services of the building. The selection of raw materials and the choice to retain original structural elements, such as the voltini ceilings and the exposed riveted steel beams, emphasised this industrial feel. Another integral factor which shaped the restoration and rehabilitation of this historic building was the harnessing of sustainable initiatives in various forms.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: Works at Triq Dom Mintoff, Bormla, commenced in November 2016 and were completed by March 2019.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: Our design incorporated the creation of 13 classrooms, 4 laboratories, 1 cafeteria, 1 library, 18 offices, 1 internal garden and 2 receptions, through minor alterations and the construction of additional floors. The cafeteria, which ensures that part of the building remains accessible to the public, also houses the restored original machinery of the building, thus incorporating these historical elements seamlessly within the new contemporary designs.
