PRESS RELEASE BY THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIAT FOR PUBLIC WORKS 36 new architects awarded their warrant - A total of 115 warrants issued since 2024

“The role of an architect is not just a profession, but a vocation, a calling to envision a Malta of tomorrow that is better and more beautiful than the Malta we know today." This was the central message delivered by the Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, to the 36 newly warranted architects, who he described as the architects of the future of our country and of our children.

Parliamentary Secretary Farrugia noted that every architect has a crucial role to play in shaping the nation through Vision Malta 2050. “A vision that will guide us to build our country for the long term on key pillars such as the Intelligent Use of Land and Sea and Sustainable Economic Growth."

The Chairperson of the Architects Warranting Board, Dr Frank Psaila, remarked that the role of the Board was to assess and evaluate these new architects so that today they could reach this important milestone. He stated that these 36 architects will continue to contribute towards a better quality of life in our country.

The President of the Kamra tal-Periti, Perit Andre Pizzuto, emphasised that the profession of architect has today been further strengthened with more professionals who carry the responsibility of taking the best decisions in the interest of public health and safety.

During the ceremony, it was noted that from 2024 to date, the Architects Warranting Board has certified and issued 115 new warrants to newly qualified architects.

The architects' warrant was established through the Architects Ordinance of 1919. One year later, in 1920, the Kamra tal-Periti (Chamber of Architects) was founded, and the first warrants were issued under the same law.
