This week on Dezeen

Chilean architecture was popular on Dezeen this week, including a tiered residence with Pacific views (above) and an earthquake-proof house (below), plus here's our track of the week from Dezeen Music Project.

Die For Your Love by Glasgow artist Atomic League is a lush electronica track that builds up to a gentle crescendo of synthesisers and syncopated drums.

Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs has been selecting his favourite extracts from Dezeen Book of Ideas each day this week, including a pewter stool cast in sand on the beach (above), a homemade toaster and an extension to the Eiffel Tower.
