Ghanaian-British architect David Adjaye has created a pointed structure crafted from blackened wood that was shown at this year's Venice Architecture Biennale.
The form was given the name Kwaee pavilion which means forest in Twi, a dialect of the Akan language spoken in Ghana.
This week's newsletter also included an exhibition of public-orientated design created for New York design week by Jean Lee, Piero Lissoni's opening of a New York architecture office and Dezeen's launch of a competition in collaboration with Bentley Motors that challenges designers to reimagine the future of luxury retail.
