THE HEART OF MALTA PROJECT BY ARCHITECT SVETOZAR ANDREEV

It-Tieqa Żerqa, more popularly known as the Azure Window, was an icon of the Maltese islands. Following a storm in March of 2017, the arch collapsed into the sea, and there was no way to restore it. However, we have a plan to give this symbol a new life:

The Heart Of Malta is a polygonal architectural form with mirrored steel faces, which will blend into the landscape, and have the same size and proportions as the original limestone arch. Within this form we have designed over 5,000 square meters of exhibition space laid out over five spiral floors, with a dynamic laser show in which each spiral step represents one thousand years of Maltese history.

"It will be a perfect monument and symbol of the fusion of modernity and nature, of time and history, and a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit" - Svetozar Andreev

Since the presentation of the project The Heart of Malta in December 2018, more than 100 publications have appeared in leading international and local media outlets, including CNN International, CNN Japan, CNN Greece, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller, GEO France, RT, Le Figaro, ELLE, National Geographic, La Stampa, BILD, The NZ Herald, La Vanguardia, Esquire, The Malta Times, in-flight magazines of Alitalia and Condor airlines, as well as top specialized publications on architecture and design.

This unprecedented level of media attention is vivid confirmation of the enormous public interest in the project and that it fully achieves its main goal: to create in Dwejra a new global centre of attraction — a powerful architectural and cultural landmark of world significance.
