This week on Dezeen, employees at architecture firm BIG's London office in Broadgate protested against proposed layoffs that would put nearly half the workforce at risk of redundancy.
The 40 protesters chanted "Bjarke Ingels shame on you" and "seven million Bjarke has stowed, give your workers what they're owed" at the protest, which was held with union Unite.
Up to 72 of the 160-strong workforce are said to be at risk of redundancy after a key contract fell through at the end of November last year.
The finalists for this year's Mies van der Rohe award were revealed, with nominees including five architecture finalists and two emerging finalists spanning Belgium, Spain, France, Slovenia and Croatia.
The buildings, which included five regeneration projects, were noted for their "exemplary contributions to the future of European architecture".
Dezeen launched its new Exclusives section, which will showcase projects that have never been published online before.
Among the projects that readers could see on Dezeen first were a holiday cabin that functions "as a Swiss army knife", a summerhouse in a lava field and a waste incineration plant with a spiralling terrace.
We also exclusively revealed the aerodynamic Antarctic Discovery Building, designed by UK studios Hugh Broughton Architects and NORR for "one of the harshest environments on Earth".
The centrepiece of Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island, the multi-purpose building is the latest in a line of Antarctic buildings that "have the X Factor".
In an opinion piece, architecture journalist Anthony Paletta argued that greater effort must be made to retain decommissioned airport terminal buildings.
"Enormous structures tend to be built to last. Airport terminals are usually the reverse," Paletta wrote.
Ahead of this weekend's Super Bowl 60 game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Dezeen spoke to one of its principal architects, HNTB professional sports practice leader Lanson Nichols.
"Its exposed structure was intended to be a reflection of all the bridges in San Francisco – very significant, beautiful, elegant, structurally expressive bridges," Nichols said of the stadium design.
Popular projects this week included an opera house by Snøhetta in Busan, a restaurant with "obelisk-like" concrete columns and a revamped 1970s house overlooking Lake Lugano.
Listen to our journalists talk about the key design and architecture stories of the past seven days on our Dezeen Weekly podcast, which this week focused on Trump's airport plans, the RIBA Royal Gold Medal and the impact of Brexit.
