In our biggest story of the week, Kanye West's claimed he "hangs around mostly with architects" to learn about architecture and get into the field.
The renovation of Astley Castle in Warickshire clinched the RIBA Stirling Prize last night, although its architects missed out on the usual £20,000 winnings.
Dezeen was present at the opening of Zaha Hadid's Serpentine Sackler Gallery extension and published the full set of official photos showing the undulating building along with the architect's thought about the design.
This year's London Design Festival concluded, but we continued our coverage with Dezeen and MINI World Tour movies about the V&A museum's 3D-printed gun and dRMM's Escher-inspired installation, plus compiled our highlights.
Finally, Japanese houses continued to be popular and this week's favourite was a narrow home with paper-thin shutters followed by an extension with small spaces tucked between roof beams.
