Join us for an inspiring evening with Dr Amber Wismayer, founder of AW Architecture and Design, as she explores how the spaces we inhabit can move beyond sustainability to actually heal us—and the planet.
In this thought-provoking talk, Dr Wismayer delves into the power of biophilic and regenerative design—an approach to architecture that reconnects people with nature, restores ecosystems, and reimagines buildings as agents of positive change. What if our homes, workplaces, and heritage sites could support well-being, reverse environmental damage, and enhance biodiversity?
You’ll discover how forward-thinking architects, planners, and communities are already reshaping the built environment to serve both people and planet. Dr Wismayer also reflects on how Malta’s traditional architecture—rooted in local materials and passive design—has long embraced regenerative principles.
This talk is for anyone passionate about architecture, sustainability, heritage, or the future of our planet. It will change how you see buildings—not just as structures, but as living systems with the potential to nurture, heal, and regenerate.
Dr Wismayer is a practicing architect, researcher, and educator. She lectures at the University of Malta and leads the Sustainable Regeneration of Built Heritage Initiative, a collaborative platform focused on heritage and climate resilience. Her work has informed national policy and guided high-level consultation on environmental performance and design.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of Malta’s leading voices in sustainable architecture.
