Architecture Nights started once again on 16th April 2013 at the Old University Building, Valletta. The first event in this series featured presentations from two architects who have been awarded under the Din L-Art Helwa 2012 awards:

Perit Matthew James Mercieca, with his project: Age Skewing Age who gave a lecture on A project review for a house of character whose lines of antiquity provided the context for lines of modernity.

Perit Gilbert Buttigieg, with his project: Restoration and Additions at Palazzo Vittoriosa whose lecture was entitled Sacred Geometry in Architecture.

The Kamra tal-Periti would like to thank the architects for their presentations and contribution to architecture nights and also thank the sponsors of the event, Hunter Dougles.
