The proposal for this project was to create a conceptual idea for Arts and Film School in a location that has an existing connection with the movie industry. The modularity of the facade reflected a potential to adapt and change its character according to the function it inhabits.
Instead of foreign film makers bringing their sets and crew, the school will provide resources, which will allow students to have a real working experience enhancing their skills, as well as making positive economical impact on Malta. This school links lower St. Elmo with the rest of Valletta and Malta by providing an open access to the local public. The work of the students that was be exhibited also helped in engaging locals with the site. At the same time, taking advantage of its geographical strength, it acts as a platform to connect different cultures surrounding Malta by hosting international Art and/or Film events.
