David Chipperfield Architects has unveiled its design for the Nobel Centre in Stockholm, which will feature spaces for workshops, lectures, events, and exhibitions.
Commenters hotly debated the project, with one asking “where is the humanity?” and another commenting “looks to potentially be a very nice, but partial, sea wall”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter included a time capsule designed by Norman Foster, HKS’ plans for the Washington Commanders Stadium and a French-fry box with a built-in ketchup compartment by Heinz.
