This week we revealed the design of the Washington Commanders Stadium

This week on Dezeen we unveiled the design for a colonnade-wrapped stadium in Washington DC for NFL team the Washington Commanders.

Designed by architecture studio HKS, the stadium will have a "monumental" form and a seating capacity of more than 70,000.

"Every design decision is guided by the significance of place – shaped by its local, regional and national history and generations of memories rooted in RFK Stadium," said HKS global venues director Mark A Williams.

"Monumental in presence, grounded in the L'Enfant Plan and scaled to the urban fabric of the district, the stadium design will be a bold civic landmark that carries the city's architectural legacy forward in a way that is confident, dynamic and unmistakably Washington, DC."

We also took a look at the upcoming stadiums set to complete this year, including another NFL stadium for the Buffalo Bills and a venue for David Beckham's MLS team Inter Miami.

Other stadiums set to open this year include a home for the Turkey national football team and the first of the Saudi World Cup venues.

Also looking ahead to 2026, we looked at the 10 most interesting skyscrapers that are due to complete later this year.

Also in the USA, a time capsule designed by British architect Norman Foster to mark America's 250th anniversary celebration was revealed.

The time capsule will be buried under the plaza at Washington Monument and is destined to be reopened on 4th July 2276, for the USA's 500th Independence Day.

In other design news, musician Will.i.am unveiled a three-wheeled electric vehicle made by his new company Trinity.

The single-passenger vehicle was designed to combine the agility of a motorbike with the stability of a car.

Popular projects this week included a Japanese tea room topped with a sloping earthen roof, the renovation of a mid-century bungalow in Ghent and a hotel at Chester Zoo.

Our lookbook this week featured minimalist living rooms where less is more.
