Ambience

Mediterranean climate results in a blurring of
inside/outside space – hence the terrace
becomes an external room to be reclaimed.
1 0 th M a y 2 0 0 1

Terrace structure serves as a deep façade,
increasing shade and sense of solidity and
hence permanence / timelessness of structure.
The larger scale play allows for flats to acquire
individual identities.

Larger frames within the scheme provide a
‘macro’ level of relationships – a musical theme
between the blocks.
This provides room for more subtle richness at

MELITA CABLE TECHNICAL CENTRE, MADLIENA

LANDSCAPING PROPOSAL.

The site is located on the prow of a hill in Madliena, an outstanding
rural environment with a limited sprawl of development whilst the
building complex itself, is surrounded by a reasonable large area with
a neighbouring fort.
The proposals aim to return the disturbed landscape of the site back
into a setting, which blends and merges with the immediate natural
surroundings whilst providing an enhanced foothold for the location of
a new building with a low profile.

In this landscaping proposal two zones, which are indicated on the
attached plans can be clearly distinguished as follows:
A) The Architectural Landscaping:
The central zone within the site that embraces the building
complex, and
B) The Contextual Landscaping:
These landscaped areas skirt the site and each relate immediately
and directly to the countryside that they border.

Note:
For both zones the species that dictate this landscape proposal have been taken from
the Guidelines on Trees, Shrubs and Plants for Planting and Landscaping in
the Maltese Islands (1999), Environmental Management Unit Planning
Directorate.

Appendix B: Reservoir volume calculation
1

RESERVOIR VOLUME CALCULATION.

Due to weather conditions of Malta, the importance of preserving the water
resources of the island and the important role played by the landscaped
areas in every development, it is strongly recommended to provide a
reservoir, which could satisfy the irrigation needs of the landscaped area of
the development without resorting to external sources to provide water.
The landscaped area marked in the plan V31 – MMA – P016 is approximately
540 m2.
The Reservoir Volume is the result of multiplying the landscaped area by the
annual average water deficit.
Water deficit (l/m2) = [Rainfall (l/m2) – ETP (l/m2)]/ Irrigation efficiency

J F M A M J J A S O N D Year
Rainfall 89 61,3 40,9 22,5 6,6 3,2 0,4 0,7 40,4 89,7 90 112,3 547
ETP 15,97 15,604 36,06 41,893 71,278 96,022 120,62 114,96 87,365 77,775 40,826 21,259 739,

Water 21,547 71,864 103, 133, 126, 52,183 509,
135 581 956
Deficit 267

Rainfall (data from 30 years)
ETP has been calculated by the Thornwaite/Blaney-Criddle method (data
from 30 years).
To calculate the water deficit an irrigation efficiency of 0.9 has been
considered, provide there is a correct and intelligent handling of the irrigation
system.

Volume of the reservoir required for landscaped area.
509,267 (l/m2) x 540 (m2) + 15% Volume for clearance = 317 m3
