This week on Dezeen, we rounded up twelve architecture projects expected to complete in 2025, including a sports campus topped with greenery in China.
Featured among the list of projects is the highly anticipated World Expo in Osaka, which is being masterplanned by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and will be held within a 60,000-square-metre wooden ring.
Also this week, we concluded our review of the top stories of 2024, which was rounded off with a look at the top 10 chairs and the top 10 Dezeen videos of the year.
We also listed the top 10 holiday homes of the year, which included a home in India wrapped in a gabion wall filled with rocks and an angular black holiday home in the Netherlands informed by stealth aircraft.
In other news, designer Tom Dixon was awarded a CBE in King Charles III’s New Year Honours list.
Also recognised in the King’s biannual honours programme were architect Peter Clegg and graphic designer Neville Brody, who were each awarded OBEs.
Also published this week was an opinion piece by Pooran Desai, in which the social entrepreneur calls on designers to help lead a fundamental shift in the way we see the world.
In the midst of immense climate pressures, Desai highlights a lack of time to save the world – revealing only two options: “reimagine, or perish”.
Popular projects featured on Dezeen this week included a wood-and-stucco house and studio in California, a forest spa featuring tubular concrete wells, and a trapezoidal home added to a Norman Foster extension in London.
Our latest lookbooks include bedrooms illuminated by creative lighting solutions and interiors with gold and silver accents.
