世界最大滑板坡道丨巴西丨福斯特建筑事务所（Foster + Partners）

This week on Dezeen, beverage company Red Bull and fashion house Prada added the world's largest skate ramp to the curved side of a skyscraper in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Built for the Red Bull Building Drop event on 25 September, the mega ramp was used by local skater Sandro Dias for a record-breaking descent into the quarter pipe from multiple platforms along the building.

The ramp was crafted from plywood panels and attached to the 88.91-metre-tall Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari building with a steel structure.

This week saw architect and "maverick" Terry Farrell die at the age of 87.

One of the UK's most high profile architects, Farrell was best-known for the postmodern MI6 and TV-am buildings, and his high-tech collaborations with the late Nicholas Grimshaw.

Foster + Partners unveiled the Outlier I megayacht concept

Meanwhile, British studio Foster + Partners unveiled the 88-metre Outlier I, a megayacht concept which features a unique engineering approach that allows for triple-height living spaces.

The yacht was conceived as a showcase for the Monaco Yacht Show to "push the boundaries of yacht design".

In other yacht-related news, Jony Ive's studio LoveFrom collaborated with Japanese manufacturer Balmuda to create a nautical lantern to address Ive's struggle to find a portable LED light to use in his own yacht.

We published an exclusive interview with congresswoman Dina Titus

This week we also published an exclusive interview with congresswoman Dina Titus, who says that Trump's classical architecture mandates "undermine America's history".

"I don't believe we should all build to look the same, because we all aren't the same, and our history and cultures and food and music all aren't the same," she told Dezeen.

We also spoke with Beijing studio Open Architecture, one of China's most influential studios, about its experimental approach to architecture that seeks to push boundaries.
