dc.description.abstract | One may say that Malta developed quite late in following the trend of tall buildings. Considered as a relatively new addition to our skyline, the demand for this building typology ultimately led to the formation of the 'Planning Policy on the use and applicability of the FAR' document and eventually the 'Urban design strategy report on tall buildings in Malta'. Nonetheless, the documentation available locally is still limited in this regard. Essentially tall buildings impact the solar access of surrounding low-lying buildings. However, with an increase in the number of medium-rise buildings being erected, one may also analyse their impacts on adjacent buildings. So how do high and medium-rise buildings affect the illuminance levels of surrounding low-lying buildings? To analyse these effects, this dissertation addresses the current policies and documents available, focusing on the development of a framework, which could be used locally. Additionally, the discussion is developed through a series of on-site investigations and analysed in parallel with the Useful Daylight Illuminance scheme. | en_GB |
