This week the Pritzker Prize was delayed
This week on Dezeen, the Pritzker Architecture Prize announced that this year's award would be delayed following director Tom Pritzker being named in the Epstein files.
Speaking to the New York Times, a spokesperson for the organisation said that this year's announcement, which would typically happen next week, would be delayed.
The news follows Tom Pritzker's decision to resign as executive chairman of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, but remain as the prize foundation's director, after emails revealed his correspondence with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
This week we spoke to the designer of the Orion spacecraft, which is set to take four people on the first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years.
"On Artemis II, for a minute, those four astronauts will be the humans that have been the farthest from the surface of Earth in the history of mankind, and they'll be flying in our baby," Sean ODell told Dezeen.
We also looked at how, despite four years of war, a flurry of small but striking interiors are popping up in Ukraine.
"Designers have definitely become bolder and more interesting," said interior designer Dmytro Bonesko. "Perhaps this is because, in conditions of war and prolonged stress, everyone realises that their life is limited."
In an opinion piece for Dezeen, Owen Hopkins argued that despite the starchitect era coming to an end, architecture still needs powerful individuals.
"In the rush to draw a line under the age of the starchitect, we're at risk of losing more than we think," he wrote.
In India, architecture studios BDP, Cox Architecture and Collage Design revealed a trio of sports venues that will be built alongside the world's largest stadium in Ahmedabad, India.

Popular projects the week included an Indian university based on stepped wells designed by Sanjay Puri Architects, a resort built into a Greek cliff edge and a "quietly magical" Toronto cafe.
