The top 10 skyscrapers of 2025
Continuing our Review of 2025, we look back at the 10 most significant skyscrapers from the year, including a pair of towers in Argentina and a New York supertall.
Ferrocarril de Cuernavaca 780, Mexico, by HEMAA
In Mexico City, HEMAA created a skinny, wedge-shaped skyscraper that recalls the Flatiron Building in New York. The form of the 13-storey building, which has a black, structural steel facade, was dictated by its site between a street and the remnants of the Ferrocarril de Cuernavaca Railroad.
"It required an act of imagination to envision the emergence of a graceful tower that would deftly adapt to the...
Snøhetta designs Skamarken riverside development with mound-like theatre
Architecture studio Snøhetta is set to transform a former railway site into a riverside park and cultural destination in Drammen, Norway, adding a theatre and conference hall with an arched green roof.
Named Skamarken, the development will include the renovation of an existing building and the implementation of riverside activities alongside the mound-like building.
Commissioned by Norwegian developer Bane NOR Eiendom in a competition, Snøhetta plans to increase the coverage of green space on the former railway site from four per cent to 70 per cent, providing public leisure space that adds to the local biodiversity.
Snøhetta has won a competition to design the...Volvo creates "instantly readable" typeface to improve driver safety
Swedish car brand Volvo has collaborated with type studio Dalton Maag to create a dedicated typeface for use in its cars, which aims to be as easy to read as possible.
Named Volvo Centum, the typeface will be used for messaging on digital screens throughout the company's cars with the aim of improving driver safety.
Volvo has created a typeface to use in its cars"For almost 100 years, safety has been our guiding principle behind everything we do," Volvo Cars UX creative director Matthew Hall told Dezeen.

"To chop this structure up feels tragic" says commenter
In this week's comments update, readers are discussing the news that The Grand Ring in Osaka will be mostly turned into firewood, according to its architect Sou Fujimoto.
The structure was constructed to encircle the site of Expo 2025 Osaka and was the largest wooden structure in the world, with a circumference of two kilometres.
Most of world's largest wooden structure The Grand Ring to be burned as "chips for fuel""What a waste"
"WTF is wrong with people?" asked Design Junkie. "Firewood, good grief," they wrote in disbelief. And they were far from the only commenter to argue this. "What a waste," scorned John...
SOM uses AI to design diamond-like West Bund Convention Centre in Shanghai
Global architecture studio SOM has used AI tools to inform its geometric design for the West Bund Convention Centre, which has risen beside the Huangpu River in Shanghai, China.
The recently completed convention centre sits within Shanghai's West Bund AI Valley – an emerging district for China's artificial intelligence sector – and is a neighbour to the AI Tower and Plaza skyscraper by Japanese studio Nikken Sekkei.
SOM employed an AI-assisted workflow to design the 60,000-square-metre building, which is defined by its multifaceted glass exterior that draws on the geometry of a diamond.

Ross Lovegrove co-creates chair with Google AI trained to emulate his style
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=lULd8fmxJC0;controls=0
British designer Ross Lovegrove and his studio have collaborated with Google DeepMind to co-create a chair using a generative AI trained on the designer's sketches.
Google's AI development company worked with Lovegrove, his studio's creative director Ila Colombo and design practice Modem on the project, which involved generating hundreds of iterations of a chair in the designer's signature sinuous style.
The team then took one iteration – Seed 6143 – and refined it into a 3D silhouette and CAD model using a mix of AI and industry software, before finally 3D printing the seating design in metal.

Пардон. Не то, чтобы Ижевск был каким-то великим городом в плане уличных табличек, но я туда ездил проводить мастер-класс именно по теме табличек, поэтому нафоткал их там выше крыши. Вот ещё несколько, которые хочу показать.
Встречается такой распространённый советский дизайн, которого полно в российских городах:
Идеально попали в размер элемента здания:
Номера домов такой дизайн не поддерживает, они отдельно:
Невероятный кернинг у буквы „Г“, а также запятая перед номером дома:
Я был уверен, что это только мы для Челябинска придумали ставить запятую в однострочной версии, потому что вообще всем на неё пофиг. А вот и нет, в Ижевске тоже ценят:
Это, кстати, видимо на перекрёстке Свердлова и Свердлова снято.
Забавная кривота, и тут уже без запятой:
Номера домов часто пишут чёрной краской просто поверх:
Выглядит брутально:
Могут и вот так...
