Erica joined AP in 2015 as Media and Communications Manager, occupying a role bridging architectural practice with research and communications. She became Director of Innovation in 2018, overseeing AP’s strategic research, business development, marketing and internationalisation. She has since steered AP’s research agenda, helping to re-define heritage beyond rigid traditional conservation, towards ‘Sustainable Heritage’.
Erica’s major AP projects to-date have been Wied Dalam and San Lucjan, involving the re-imagining of industrial infrastructure of Malta’s oil industry, as well as the 2024 multi-disciplinary project, Valletta Accra: A Dialogue Between Mercantile Cities, which culminated in a publication and a project proposal for the rehabilitation of a colonial building in Osu (Accra). Erica holds a MSc in Architecture for Sustainability from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and an MA in Media and Communication from the Il Sole24Ore Business School, Milan, Italy. She regularly contributes to the Giornale dell’Architettura and the Artpaper, and has been published in the Routledge Sustainable Heritage Handbook.
