Among them was British designer Es Devlin’s massive rotating library, Library of Us<\/a>, which was installed on a beachfront.<\/p>\n Visitors to the event could also enjoy artist Pilar Zeta’s chromatic colonnade<\/a> and design studio Stephen Burks Man Made’s The Lost Cloth Object<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an opinion piece this week, interior designer Claire Keane looked at the challenges of designing living rooms with large TV<\/a>s.<\/p>\n “What to do with the TV is among the most challenging design problems in today’s American home,” Keane said.<\/p>\n US president Donald Trump has dismissed James McCrery as the lead architect for his White House ballroom<\/a>. Instead, the project will be led by Shalom Baranes Associates.<\/p>\n Trump has also called for a redesign of the Eero Saarinen-designed Dulles Airport<\/a> near Washington DC. His Department of Transportation announced plans to “replace or build on” the existing main terminal.<\/p>\n Car brand Ferrari’s design history was the subject of a new book, simply named Ferrari.<\/p>\n We rounded up 10 moments that defined Ferrari’s design history<\/a> from the book, which features photographs and drawings that have never been published before.<\/p>\n Projects that turned Dezeen readers’ heads this week included an off-grid home in Australia’s Victorian Alps<\/a>, a minimalist Spanish house with a courtyard<\/a> and a 1950s home organised a staircase<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our latest lookbook showcased compact bedrooms that make the most of small spaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n This week on Dezeen<\/p>\n This week on Dezeen is our regular roundup of the week’s top news stories.
