Cardiff University's Welsh School of Architecture Show Features Bristol Boatyard Reimagining and Nine Other Projects
In a collaboration with Dezeen School Shows, Cardiff University's Welsh School of Architecture presented ten design projects from its year-three BSc Architecture students. Highlights include Scarlett Cowley's The Underfall Collective, which reimagines a Bristol boatyard; Olivia Liggins' A Common Ground – The Talgarth School of Cooking, a kitchen-garden school designed for neurodivergent individuals; Lucy Hilton's The Domestic Collective, a women's housing initiative in Ross-on-Wye; and Sam Stevens' The Living Archives, which repurposes a garage into a co-living space. Other notable projects are Jack Youell's A Circular Assemblage in Bristol, Alfie Elliott's Reinterpreting Obsolescence in Newport, Laura Nolan's Decay and Renewal, Jaskaran Singh's Sanyukt Seva Kendra in Gujarat, Amos Shammai's Anti-Oculus, and Toby Hope's River souvenirs. The BSc Architecture program spans three years and is accredited by RIBA, ARB, and LAM.
