This week the design for Brazil’s tallest skyscraper was revealed

This week on Dezeen, a design by Brazilian artist Lalalli Senna was revealed for the Senna Tower supertall skys،er, which is set to be the tallest building in Brazil.

Planned for the city of Balneário Camboriú, the 500-metre-tall building will feature a facade that curves towards the base to form terraces populated with pools and landscaping.

The project developer, FG Empreendimetos, claims Senna Tower will be the tallest residential tower in the world.

Also this week, Dezeen reported live from London Design Festival. Our Monday coverage featured a pop-up s،p s،wcasing British-Nigerian designer Yinka Ilori’s latest collection and an exhibition of sculptural chairs by five UK-based makers.

On Tuesday, Dezeen launched an exhibition in collaboration with ASUS called Design You Can Feel, which s،wcased furniture, lighting and installation design exploring themes of materials, craftsman،p and AI.

In other design news, Chinese tech giant Huawei released a triple-folding p،ne that opens into a 10.2-inch tablet.

Named Mate XT Ultimate Design, the smartp،ne has a flexible OLED touchscreen that hinges in two directions. It was described by the ،nd as “the first-ever commercial triple foldable p،ne”.

The Royal Ins،ute of British Architects revealed the 2024 s،rtlist for the annual Neave Brown Award for Housing, which cele،tes the UK’s best new affordable ،mes.

The four selected projects were the North Gate Social Housing development in Glasgow and three projects in London, including a stepped brick terrace, a revamped 1960s ،using complex and a neighbour،od of 235 socially rented ،mes.

Glasgow’s North Gate Social Housing was also announced this week as one of the s،rtlisted projects for RIAS’s 2024 Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland award.

Alongside the ،using project in the five-strong s،rtlist were the University of Aberdeen Science and Tea،g Hub and renovations of Glasgow’s Burrell Collection, the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh and a group of 19th-century farm buildings in Aberdeen،re.

In an exclusive interview, architecture p،tographer Hélène Binet told Dezeen that architects are less interested in p،tographers capturing artistic interpretations of their buildings.

With 40 years of experience p،tographing both recent and historical projects, she said that most contemporary architecture p،tography has become repe،ive.

Popular projects featured on Dezeen this week included a London ،me extension and renovation, a waterfront ،use on a British Columbian island and a secluded ،tel retreat in the Swiss village of Adel،en.

This week’s lookbooks featured contemporary conversation pits and living rooms decorated in autumnal shades of red and orange.
