Dezeen's Weekly Design and Architecture Roundup

This week's Dezeen roundup covers evolving data centre design, a legal settlement involving RIBA, a new national stadium in Vietnam, notable September houses, and popular architectural projects.

The architecture of data centres is being re-examined due to the rapid growth of hyperscale facilities, driven by AI. Concerns are rising about their environmental impact, with experts suggesting current designs are often poor.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) settled a legal case with former president Alan Jones for £150,000, resolving a dispute over the handling of personal information and alleged press leaks.

A design for the 70,000-seat Rach Chiec National Stadium was revealed for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Developed by Populous, it will be significantly larger than any current stadium in the country.

September's most interesting houses included a narrow 30-metre-long residence in Kyoto and a lime-rendered house in Mexico.

Popular projects this week featured a London pod hotel, the Skywalker Grill at the Lucas Museum in LA, and a renovated 1970s townhouse in Hampstead.
