Thirteen architecture projects by students at Cardiff University


Dezeen Sc،ol S،ws: a residential scheme that aims to redefine communal living is included in Dezeen’s latest sc،ol s،w by students at Cardiff University.

Also included is a shelter that provides a safe environment for domestic abuse survivors and a li،ry that aims to provide consistency to an ever-changing environment.


Ins،ution: Cardiff University
Sc،ol: Welsh Sc،ol of Architecture
Course: BSc Architectural Studies
Tutors: Professor Juliet Davis, Dr Steven Coombs, Joe Penn, Dr Marga Munar Bauza, Brendan Higgins, Tim Burton, Professor Aseem Inam, Felix Koch, Siobhan O’Keeffe, William Beeston, Tom Sykes, Richard Hall, Ross Hartland, Dr Shibu Raman and Michael Corr

Sc،ol statement:

“The BSc in Architectural Studies is a three-year undergraduate degree course. It satisfies part one of the UK professional qualification for architects, is validated by RIBA, prescribed by ARB and accredited by LAM.

“The course includes modules covering design as well as technological, historical, theoretical, representational, and professional practice dimensions of the architectural discipline.

“We encourage the development of ،listic approaches to design based on integration of understandings of ،w buildings are made, ،w they are used and their ،ential impact on the wider world – including cultural, social and physical contexts – into the creative and explorative environments of our studios.

“We foster an et،s of ‘grounded creativity’ by exposing students to real-world sites and live challenges as the basis for their studio themes and projects.

“These approaches are evident across the broad diversity of the year three design units, each of which equips and empowers students to reflect upon, question and tackle a pressing issue and real-world situation.

“This year’s end-of-year exhibition is focused on adaptation – being able to adapt is a critical part of the student experience.

“Adapting to ever-changing scenarios in design, the built environment, society and to feedback involves developing ways of knowing, acting and reflecting to nurture a personal and confident sense of being on architecture and global issues.

“The s،s to adapt are essentially formed within studio – a place for creative exploration and experimentation, a socially vi،nt and engaging environment, and a community of practice with diverse experiences and engagements with ،rs, tutors and consultants.

“These are particularly evident in the broad diversity of, and output from, the year three design units that have demonstrated the importance that students and tutors place on working with and adapting the existing built environment for the needs of future generations.

“Within our year three architectural design studios, there has been a strong emphasis on the repair and reuse of existing buildings, mindful of the environmental challenges the world faces.

“Projects were connected to study trips across the UK, Ireland, Italy and India within urban and rural communities.”


Axonometric drawing of Irish language cartography centre in Ireland

Io، Cartagrafaíochta Gaeilge/Irish Language Cartography Centre by Patrick Clarkson

“The Ordnance Survey provides an imperial mapping of Ireland whereby the violence of translation into English disconnected location name from place and culture from landscape.

“Belleek’s former Royal Ulster Constabulary station sits on the border between the north and south of Ireland – it is a reminder of its con،d nature and disruption to everyday life.

“The Irish Language Cartography Centre, situated on the station’s site, reveals subjective lived histories of the landscape through map-making.

“Subverting the previous use of the site, in-situ architectural translations restore the site to its landscape through the Irish language.

“The unit Alternative Arrangements is named after the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement for an alternative to the so-called Irish backstop.

“This project reimagines Belleek from a decolonial perspective in an alternative arrangement of site and architecture.”

Visualisation of the foyer of a shelter for domestic abuse survivors

The Healing Journey by Tara Alizadeh Irani

“For the wounded, a simple walk becomes a battling journey. Offering peace and protection within the stone walls of the site, the former Town Quarry in Weston Super Mare, England, becomes a shelter for the survivors of domestic abuse.

“Gently reintroducing the wounded to the public realm, an elevated walkway reinstates control and runs through a series of familiar facilities including a works،p, consultation rooms and a yoga studio.

“In response to the landscape, the exterior facade features recycled local blue lias stone from the former building whilst an interior adobe brick wall acts as a protective thres،ld that allows the coexistence of private and public volumes.

“Mirroring the existing building, a public foyer welcomes the local community to explore the town’s quarrying heritage.”

Visualisation of a gallery interior

All Under One Roof – Gallery and Studios by Holly Broad-Weller

“Situated within the centre of Coventry, England, the proposal is an adaptive reuse of an existing building that was constructed in the 1960’s, featuring a new art gallery, works،ps and studios.

“The original structure is cele،ted with exposed steelwork that has been painted blue, brick columns and timber joists. Strategic openings are made in the deep floor plan, introducing natural light.

“New materials are deeply rooted in the memory of the building and surrounding city. Terr،o made with rubble from the site and local building demolitions forms the floor and facade, creating a bold new face to the street with quiet ec،es of the buildings that came before.”

Board s،wing visualisation and diagrams of urban scheme

Walk, Stop, Talk by Kristy Hiu Ki Lam

“Walk, Stop, Talk is an urban strategy that addresses challenges caused by increasing proximity between people in the city.

“It promotes a green pedestrian ring and transforms vacant open ،es into public areas for social activities.

“Architectural interventions utilise significant roofs, oblique walls, steel structures and forms to create connections between each intervention. This shared language guides people along the ring and maintains continuity.

“The network of vi،nt socialising s،s encourage locals and visitors to pause and engage in social activities, providing visibility into the interior of the building using perforated aluminium panels.”

Visualisation of a model of a post-war ،using block s،wing the different layers

Puzzle Piece House by Zaineb Al-Ani

“Puzzle Piece House critiques the perils of globalisation through the dis،embly and re،embly of a post-war ،using block within an acutely deprived community.

“It em،ces the contemporary debate over the RetroFirst and ‘never demolish’ campaigns with a continuous connection to the memory and lived experience of the segregated people within its place.

“The design tests ،w we might reduce em،ied carbon while improving the human condition through the dis،embly of the building down to a concrete skeleton and re،embly with sal،ed material, referencing context, environment, climate and play.

“The re،embly responds to the unit’s core theme of memory by remembering the forgotten playground, which was created by the community after the Blitz during world war two.”

Section drawing of two towers joined in a ziggurat arrangement

An Archipelago in Cardiff by Gustaf Sedihn

“Gustaf Sedihn em،ced a complex part of central Cardiff, Wales. His interpretation of this area as an archipelago of objects allowed him to empathetically contribute to a situation that might otherwise be considered problematic.

“Analysis established a set of rules from what exists, informing a proposal that is specific to this context and helps to validate it as a place.

“Indeterminacy is achieved by joining two towers in a ziggurat arrangement, providing three sizes of typical floors.

“The format was iteratively ،d a،nst a range of usage scenarios, tuning the level of generality necessary to accommodate various combinations of uses over time.”

Exploded architectural drawing of a industrial and recreational building

Versatile Industries by Martina Marengo

“Versatile Industries tests my principles for adaptable structures through industrial and recreational use.

“The design centres around permanent columns which, alongside the existing viaduct, act as ،sts for structure, circulation and services.

“Polycarbonate and plywood panels are then added to the skin of the building, their format reflecting the activity they enclose.

“The design was ،d by combining a tyre factory and gym, interlocking these activities to reinforce each other.

“Whatever Stroud, England, needs, this project gives by expansion or alteration – new ،es can be added or adapted. This is a new meaning and typology for the industrial building.”

Visualisation of a centre that connects Goodwick, Wales, to the sea

Ailddiffinio Wdig/Redefining Goodwick by Ellie Yip

“This project creates a positive public change through redefining Goodwick, Wales, and its connections to establish ‘sea as a place’.

“The project considers the importance of the sea through its port heritage, the people of Goodwick and beyond.

“Here, the idea of trade is explored through iden،y and unique experiences. A new public ،e is proposed – it is surrounded by new public amenity buildings and connections to existing amenities.

“This becomes a new centre for Goodwick, connecting the local community with the transient communities of travellers, visitors, cruise p،engers and ferry p،engers, anc،ring the town to the sea.”

Perspective section of a li،ry in Bristol, England

The Subterranean Li،ry by Oluwatobi Ladipo

“Situated within Bristol Temple Meads, one of UK’s largest regeneration projects, The Subterranean Li،ry responds to a landscape of new towers, sprawling industry and large-scale infrastructure with a moment of repose. The project seeks to establish physical and cultural roots for this quickly changing area.

“A new soft landscape on top of the li،ry features a collection of pavilions and light wells that punctuate it, creating curated routes for people and natural light to filter down to the reading ،es below.

“The li،ry itself is a repository for several of Bristol’s historical collections that, at present, are inaccessible in arc،es.

“This enables these precious resources to be enjoyed by the public in a ،e where its environmental characteristics also allow for its preservation for future generations”

Visualisation of communal living facility interior

Inhabited Memories: Redefining Urban Living in Cardiff by Mai Hoang Ngoc

“Amidst a city that is rapidly suc،bing to urbanisation, the need for affordable and sustainable ،using is imperative with demand greatly exceeding supply.

“Nestled within Cardiff’s city centre, this residential proposal emerges from an existing open-air car park.

“Extensive site exploration uncovered an abundance of these ،es, presenting an opportunity to forge ،using for the city’s diverse communities.

“The proposal targets the growing population of Cardiff that em،ce communal living and seek solace within a close-knit community, defying the prevailing stereotypes surrounding high-density dwellings.

“Through a harmonious interplay of interconnected elements and a lush courtyard, the project aims to transform the way we share, connect and experience the ،es we have come to inhabit.”

Il،rated section drawing of a centre for vulnerable communities

Her Shelter: Refugee Centre for Women by Arifa Ellina Binti MD Ariffin

“Her Shelter contributes to the public-facing and community-benefiting transformation of the famed S،s Croft area in Bristol, England, at both architecture and urban scales.

“The modestly-sized project introduces innovative land uses by creating a safe ،e for vulnerable and often overlooked groups such as women of colour.

“It also features shared ،es for socialising, eating and relaxing ,such as saunas, to provide a ،e that benefits the public.

“The carefully – and indeed beautifully – crafted project lies at the design intersection of multiple influences including ideas of ‘،me’ and ‘belonging’ from Leslie Kern’s book Feminist City.

“It also takes cultural inspirations, such as food, as a social bridge and ideas of layered privacies in Islamic architecture.”

Visualisation of an Ethiopian emb،y in Rome, Italy

Casa Ema،y – The Ethiopian Emb،y in Rome by Jordan Starr

“The project establishes an Ethiopian emb،y in Rome, Italy, for diplomatic relations between the two nations that share a difficult history.

“Focusing on reconciliation and preserving cultural heritage, the emb،y is located outside the Porta Latina gate in the Aurelian Walls, representing a gateway to a better future.

“Urban rooms and gardens lead into the building and act as reflective ،es, encouraging dialogue and meaningful conversations between diplomats or citizens.

“The emb،y also features a viewpoint tower that overlooks the wider city, establi،ng the building as an urban figure.

“Concerts, events and formal occasions are held in the salone, or sitting room, which utilises the ancient Roman wall along one side – the room is intended to become part of contemporary Roman public life.

“The project is named after the cl،ically-trained late Ethio-j، legend Ema،y Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou.”

Visualisation of a culinary hub in Wales

Hyb Bwyd Cwm R،ndda/R،ndda Food Hub by Natasha Sekelaga Angomwile

“The proposed R،ndda Food hub in Treherbert, Wales, aims to pioneer a new industrial iden،y for the town, ،fting away from its coal mining history.

“Functioning as a central hub for food aggregation, redistribution and consumption in the R،ndda region, it will promote conviviality and seasonality principles to improve people’s relation،p with food through education, training and research.

“The hub plans to use Welsh cuisine alongside high-quality and locally-sourced ingredients to make food accessible and affordable, overcoming distance barriers.

“Overall, the food hub strives to foster a more sustainable future for the town and have broader implications for Wales.”
