Cardiff University Architecture Projects Showcase Diverse Designs

Cardiff University's Welsh School of Architecture has presented a range of innovative student projects, including a reimagined Bristol boatyard, a neurodivergent-informed school, and a feminist co-housing model.

Scarlett Cowley's "The Underfall Collective" proposes a cohesive industrial cluster for a historic Bristol boatyard, balancing public and private spaces to support traditional crafts like wooden boat building.

Olivia Liggins' "A Common Ground" is a kitchen-garden school designed with neurodivergent users in mind, prioritizing autonomy and well-being through adaptable sensory environments.

Lucy Hilton's "The Domestic Collective" offers a feminist co-housing model for single mothers and older women, focusing on safety, community, and shared domesticity through courtyard designs and communal facilities.

Sam Stevens' "The Living Archives" challenges housing norms with adaptive reuse and a "collective exchange" for household items, fostering co-living between young families and professionals.

Jack Youell's "A Circular Assemblage" is a craft hub in Bristol's dockyard that prioritizes a "waste-to-resource" logic, featuring modular construction and a firing tower to reclaim process heat.

Alfie Elliott and Laura Nolan present projects in Port Talbot and Newport, respectively, focusing on the reuse of steel and obsolete structures like car parks to create centers for production, education, and community engagement.

Jaskaran Singh's "Sanyukt Seva Kendra" in India proposes a civic hub integrating transport, healthcare, markets, and waste processing to improve equitable access to services in urbanizing areas. Amos Shammai's "Anti-Oculus" critiques the Temple of Peace and Health, and Toby Hope's "River souvenirs" archives river debris to highlight environmental conditions.
