University students design alternatives to Hondoq’s yacht marina
Published on www.maltastar.com on 21st October, 2009.
Fourth year University students have designed alternatives to the Hondoq Ir Rummien yacht marina project.
The alternatives include a nature park with a submerged kiosk … well, anything but a yacht marina.
The project is in collaboration with the University of Malta, Flimkien Ghal Ambjent Ahjar, Moviment Harsien Hondoq and the Local Council of Qala.
Paul Buttigieg, Qala local councilor said: “This project was aimed at creating awareness for our heritage, so that it can be enjoyed by both the locals and the tourists.”
Astrid Vella, FAA coordinator said: “FAA wished to do something positive to the country and set up these awards in conjunction with the university. The awards are aimed at making tomorrow’s architects sensitive to the particular needs of these areas.
The winners of the Julian Manduca Award for the Sustainable Development of Rural Areas award are: Joseph Galea, Nicky Psaila Savona and Zack Xuereb Conti.
