\"Parametricism<\/div>\n

This week on Dezeen<\/a>, we kicked off our Parametricism series<\/a>, which explores a theory of architecture that lays claim to becoming the defining style of the 21st century.<\/span><\/p>\n

Architectural writer Owen Hopkins introduced the series in an overview of parametricism<\/a>, which he called “the architecture of liberalism itself”.<\/p>\n

Our simple guide to parametricism<\/a> explored the notoriously complex concept, while an interview with the man who coined the term, architect Patrik Schumacher, revealed that he is “not happy” with how fast the style is being adopted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Bubble<\/a>

Fashion designer Iris van Herpen created a “dissolving” dress<\/a>, made out of 15,000 bubble-like glass spheres combined with hidden microprocessors that emitted real bubbles.<\/p>\n

The striking creation was worn by Olympic athlete Eileen Gu at this year’s Met Gala, which was held in the Cond\u00e9 M Nast galleries<\/a> designed by Brooklyn-based architecture studio Peterson Rich Office.<\/p>\n

\"PS<\/a>

With Milan design week having come to an end, the Dezeen team rounded up its favourite furniture and lighting designs<\/a> from the event \u2013 including anthropomorphic lamps and a pillowy PVC coffee table.<\/p>\n

Architect Toyo Ito chose his favourite projects from an exhibition about designer Andrea Branzi<\/a> that was on during the design week, and we looked at an installation of Branzi’s lamps at the Rosewood hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Trump<\/a>

Architecture studio Gensler unveiled its design for a Trump Tower in Tbilisi, Georgia<\/a>, which will comprise “six architecturally distinctive towers”. Among them is a 70-storey skyscraper that is set to be the tallest in the country.<\/p>\n

In other skyscraper news, the rocket-like Mohammed VI Tower has become Morocco’s tallest skyscraper<\/a> at 250 metres tall. It is also the third-tallest skyscraper in Africa.<\/p>\n

\"Tambre<\/a>

Also this week, architect David Chipperfield created a freestanding plywood bathtub<\/a> for Italian bathroom brand Agape.<\/p>\n

The sculptural tub, which has an integrated seat, shelf and washbasin, was made from okum\u00e8 plywood and is said to have a high degree of water resistance.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
A holiday cabin in Greece was popular this week<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Popular projects this week included a Greek holiday cabin<\/a>, a penthouse in Frankfurt<\/a> and a science centre with helical slides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Listen to our journalists talk about the key design and architecture stories of the past seven days on our Dezeen Weekly podcast<\/a>, which this week asks what was special about the shoes on the feet of the record-breaking runners at the recent London Marathon and looks at the importance of the Met Gala.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
