This week Australia unveiled plans for first new city in a century
This week on Dezeen, we revealed plans for Bradfield City, which will be the first major city to be built in Australia for over a century.
Designed by American studio SOM and Australian studio Hassell, the 114-hectare city is set to include 10,000 homes, a university campus and a two-hectare park.
Its first stage of development is planned to roll out over the next five years.
Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny headlined the 60th Super Bowl football game in California with a set design that was a celebration of Latin American culture.
It allowed the artist to "make his comments in a way that felt elegant", according to the show's creative director Harriet Cuddeford, who spoke to Dezeen about how the concept was realised.
Sportswear brand Nike showcased its Air Milano Jacket, an air-filled jacket that can be inflated and deflated, in Milan during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games. The jacket is being worn by Team USA and uses Nike's Air technology.
Nike also created an all-orange, heavily branded train in Milan, to mark the relaunch of All Conditions Gear brand. The train was designed to be a base station for athletes.
London's brutalist Southbank Centre received a Grade II-listing this week. The listing for the centre comes after a 35-year-long battle by conservation group Twentieth Century Society, which called it a "sculptural masterpiece".
Also in London, the controversial revamp of Liverpool Street Station east London got the green light. The overhaul by British studio ACME will require part of the station to be demolished and see a 97-metre-tall office tower added overhead.

Popular projects this week included a concrete museum inserted between traditional buildings, a house extension for Dezeen editor Tom Ravenscroft and a London flat with a cathedral-like roof.
