Join us to celebrate the RSAW 2025 Student Awards and Reimagining Central Square Competition showcase.

This celebration event will take place at the Parkgate Hotel and will include this year's Student Awards Ceremony, along with the announcement and showcase of all entrants to the Reimagining Central Square Competition.

The RSAW Student Awards celebrate the talent of architecture students in both RIBA Accredited Schools of Architecture in Wales (Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University; Swansea School of Architecture, University of Wales Trinity Saint David), to reward them in the pursuit of excellence in the study of architecture.

For this event, we welcome built environment professionals and students to come along to celebrate this year's Student Award Winners and see the innovative ideas of Architectural Practices across Wales who have entered the competition.

Our new design competition invites entrant to reimagine Cardiff’s Central Square as a sustainable, inclusive, world-class public realm. Entrant of the competition must either be an RIBA/RSAW members or an employee of a Chartered Practice. Proposals should enhance connectivity, celebrate heritage, promote biodiversity, and allow flexible use, integrating with key landmarks like Cardiff Central Station and Principality Stadium.
