Set the scene.
England graduated in architecture from the University of Malta, then continued studying in Milan. He also worked in the studio of Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti.
Here’s the twist.
His activities extended to sculpture, photography, painting and poetry. The poetry collection Eye to I appeared in 1994: a building designer could work with words as well as spaces.

He served as dean of Malta’s Faculty of Architecture from 1987 to 1989. Studying, practising and teaching design can form different chapters of the same career.
