The Welsh School of Architecture (WSA) is an academic school of Cardiff University. It is located in the Bute Building, King Edward VII Avenue, Cathays Park, Cardiff, Wales. For two years it was voted the UK's top School of Architecture in the ''Times Higher Educational Supplement'' league table. In 2013 it was ranked second by ''The Guardian'' and, in a poll of architects carried out by the ''Architects' Journal'', was ranked equal first with the Architectural Association as the top UK school.〔("The Welsh School of Architecture's Summer Show Hits London" ), ''The Architectural Review'', 20 June 2013. Retrieved 2014-10-02.〕 Its "intellectual, yet no-nonsense approach"〔 to design embraces all aspects of architecture and is focused around the studio project, based on one-to-one design teaching. Academic staff are supported by visiting professors and tutors from local and leading UK practices. The WSA condenses its Part II architecture course, which would normally involve 2 years of full time study, into a year spent working in practice with part time study modules, followed by 1 year full time at college.〔 In July 2013 the annual degree show of student work was for the first time held in London, at the Truman Gallery in Brick Lane.〔 == Notable people == * Prof Dean Hawkes * Prof Sarah Lupton - architect, arbitrator and author of numerous books on professional practice and law.
