This week on Dezeen<\/a>, work started on the 400-metre-high cube-shaped Mukaab skyscraper\u00a0in\u00a0Riyadh<\/a>, which is set to be the world’s largest building.<\/span><\/p>\n

Designed by architecture studio AtkinsR\u00e9alis, the cuboid skyscraper is being built as part of a new downtown district in the northwest of the Saudi capital.<\/p>\n

When completed, it will overtake the Boeing Everett Factory in the USA, which has held the title of the world’s largest building since it opened in 1967.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning studio RCR Arquitectes revealed its design for a 380-metre-high skyscraper in Dubai<\/a>, which it described as “unusually narrow”.<\/p>\n

Named Muraba Veil, the tower will have a long main facade but will only be 22.5 metres wide.<\/p>\n

In other architecture news, the Vessel in New York designed by Heatherwick Studio reopened after a three-year closure<\/a>\u00a0with a steel\u00a0mesh added to the exterior as a safety measure. It closed in 2021 following the fourth suicide at the viewpoint.<\/p>\n

“We are pleased that the structure is now reopening,” Heatherwick Studio told Dezeen. “We hope that it will continue to deliver the experience we originally envisioned as a unique place for exploration and a one-of-a-kind take on the city of New York.”<\/p>\n

We also spoke to conservation experts about the challenges of preserving and maintaining mid-century modern homes<\/a>. “Mid-century homes are a labour of love,” they said.<\/p>\n

In other news, the Dezeen team reported live from Dutch Design Week<\/a> and rounded up six key trends<\/a> from northern Europe’s largest design event.<\/p>\n

Highlights from the festival included an inflatable toilet for hikers<\/a>, designed by Kunrui Peng as an alternative to burying faeces in the ground, which leaves lasting impacts on the environment.<\/p>\n

The designer hopes that the toilet, weighing less than one kilogram, will be used for “convenient and responsible” pooing in the wild.<\/p>\n
