This week we revealed images of Populous' Buffalo Bills stadium

This week on Dezeen, we published photos of architecture studio Populous' stadium for NFL team Buffalo Bills in Buffalo, New York, which will feature "the world's largest snowmelt system".

The stadium, which will be located in the Bills' hometown of Buffalo, will have a canopy that's heated to melt snow and engineered to amplify the crowd sounds in the stadium.

Also this week, Swedish designer Gustaf Westman showcased his elongated porcelain plate with a central indentation designed to hold a row of meatballs, produced by furniture retailer IKEA.

According to the company, it's the "first-ever dedicated plate" for its meatballs. The turquoise plate is also the first piece from Westman's collaboration with IKEA to be unveiled, with the full collection launching on 9 September.

UK firm Heatherwick Studio unveiled designs for its redevelopment of a city block in Prague. Called Savarin, the development will be located in the historic city centre.

It will feature contemporary additions to the enclosed centre of the block, which borders the Wenceslas Square boulevard, while several of the external buildings will be renovated.

Danish studio BIG saw progress on two major US projects this week. It unveiled renders of its "built-from-scratch" city Telosa, which will be located in the desert and feature buildings including a wooden "mobility hub" and a "sports village" hosted in an outstretched, silver building.

The studio also received approval from the Los Angeles City Council for its four-building 670 Mesquit complex, which will contain an elementary school and housing, among other programming.

In design news, American transportation firm Volonaut has released test footage of its Airbike. The personal aircraft, which looks like a motorbike, uses jet engines to hover and glide through the air at speeds of up to 102 kilometres per hour.

According to the brand, it can only remain airborne for up to 10 minutes at a time. Its founder said using the bike "feels like instantly becoming a superhero."

The latest Vertical Forest design by Italian architect Stefano Boeri was completed in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Called Wonderwoods, it comprises a 104-metre-tall mixed-use tower wrapped by balconies supporting hundreds of trees and thousands of plants.

Popular projects this week included a tiny cafe squeezed between buildings in Bucharest, a biophilic villa in India and a minimalist London home extension.

Our latest lookbook focused on milking stools that add rustic charm to interiors.
