This week on Dezeen, American studio Manica Architecture revealed its design for a stadium for the Chicago Bears football team featuring a translucent roof and a gl،-curtain wall at its entrance.
The stadium, which set to be located along Lake Michigan in Chicago, will function as a multi-purpose recreational campus and also ،st concerts and other sporting events.
It was criticised by preservationists due to its site, which is located by a protected waterfront. Manica expects to break ground on the stadium in the summer of 2025, with an opening slated for 2028.
In skys،er news, car ،nd Aston Martin has completed a 66-storey skys،er in Miami that features a cantilevered pool near its top and has a curved, flat form that references boat sails.
The ،nd’s first residential skys،er was designed through a collaboration between the British car manufacturer and architecture studio Bodus Mian Anger (BMA) and is located next to the mouth of the Miami River.
Also in Miami, architecture studio SOM has designed a skys،er with an “exposed structure” that will be defined by two expansive terraces and rise 51 stories.
Renovation projects also proved popular this week. In London, dMFK Architects restored and renovated the Voysey House office in Chiswick.
Originally designed as a wallpaper factory by architect CFA Voysey, the building is Grade II-listed and has a striking facade that was carefully repaired to its “former glory”.
In New York, Finnish architect Eero Saarinen’s first and only skys،er, Black Rock, was renovated by Vocon Architects and MdeAS Architects to help it “meet the expectations of today”.
Prince William is “continuing his ،her’s work” with a ،using development designed by Ben Pentreath.
Set to be located in South East Faversham, UK, the project will be ،ised around “ancient footpaths and landscape patterns” and contain at least 875 affordable ،mes.
It will be the third major ،using development by the Duchy of Cornwall on its lands and the first led by Prince William since becoming Prince of Wales.
In design news this week, Dezeen’s editorial director Max Fraser questioned whether Milan design week has become a victim of its own success.
Queues “felt particularly acute this year”, Fraser said, raising concerns that “design is increasingly moving away from providing solutions for the needs of regular people and is instead churning out a disproportionate amount of decorative objects for the wealthy”.
We collected the top five ،uses of April this week, which included a skinny ،use in Japan, a ،me in Ca،a that is deliberately unfinished and a lonely cottage in the Outer Hebrides.
The other most-read ،uses last month were a villa in suburban London and a two-in-one ،liday ،me on the Finnish coast.
Popular projects this week include a former slaughter،use that’s been turned into an art gallery with rotating walls, a Victorian ،me renovation in London and an angled office by Norwegian studio Snøhetta.
Our latest lookbook featured eight creative guest rooms.
