Latest news on Adjaye Associates-designed National Cathedral revealed in Dezeen Agenda

The latest edition of our weekly Dezeen Agenda newsletter features news that the Adjaye Associates-designed National Cathedral project in Accra may be halted entirely. Subscribe to Dezeen Agenda now.

Ghana president John Dramani Mahama's office announced in a statement that it has begun the process of ending the current contracts connected to the cathedral and will launch a further "forensic audit" that may lead to the project being halted entirely.

Commissioned in 2018 by former president Nana Akufo-Addo, the cathedral project became controversial due to its costs and accusations that Adjaye Associates was illegally hired to design the building.

This week's newsletter also featured Heatherwick Studio's plans to redevelop a city block in the historic centre of Prague and the first piece from Swedish designer Gustaf Westman's upcoming IKEA collaboration.
