This month's Dezeen In Depth newsletter examines the arguments supporting and opposing the recent proposals for an MSG Sphere in London and features an interview with French fashion designer Christian Louboutin.

In recent weeks, a pressing question has emerged: should London build a Sphere? Dezeen takes a closer look at both sides of the debate.

Madison Square Garden Entertainment, the creators of the venue, wanted to build a Sphere in Stratford, east London, but encountered resistance from critics. Stop MSG Sphere, a group of residents opposing the project, described it as a "supersized fever dream".

December's Dezeen in Depth also featured an exclusive interview with Christian Louboutin and an opinion piece from Michelle Ogundehin on Pantone's Colour of the Year.
