Welsh Architecture : Buildings in Wales

Contemporary Developments + Buildings in Wales, UK, Europe

Architecture in Wales We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Welsh Architecture. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Wales. The focus is on contemporary Welsh buildings but information on key traditional buildings is also welcome. We have 3 pages of Welsh Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.
