The Limestone Intelligent Mapping and Automated Process (LIMAP) project, funded by the FUSION R&I: Research Excellence Programme, led by AP Valletta in collaboration with technical partner Neural AI, is a research project that addresses a key challenge in Malta’s heritage conservation: the manual mapping of deterioration patterns in Globigerina and Coralline Limestone. Further collaboration with the University of Malta - including the Department of Conservation and Built Heritage, the Department of Construction and Property Management and the Department of Artificial Intelligence, ensured continued theoretical grounding and extensive feedback collection.

Commissioned by the Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS) as part of its public, curatorial, and educational programme, Beyond the Bastions is an exhibition that explores the historical evolution of the site that now hosts Malta’s national contemporary art museum.
