The BSc Architecture Graduate Show of 2026 showcases the exemplary work produced by our students, exploring dynamic proposals for a range of public-facing architecture set within the rich historical context of the Swansea Docklands. 

The students produced a series of placemaking and intervention strategies on a vacant site adjacent to the Dylan Thomas Centre and explored a suitable design brief to respond to the cultural context. 

This year’s projects span a wide range of proposals, including Craft and Makers Spaces, Art Gallery, Culinary School, Student Hub, Marine Ecology Research Laboratory, School of Architecture, Maritime Centre & Dive Tank, Jazz Playhouse with Speakeasy and Cirque de Soliel Performance Theatre. 

The briefs were developed independently by the students. The work on display also includes a developed understanding of construction methods, technical appraisal, and practical application to support the students’ progression into the workplace and set them up for a career in architecture.
