This week on Dezeen, we launched a contest to design the artwork for our upcoming series focused on how artificial intelligence will impact architecture and design.

To mark the start of the series we are inviting our readers to create an artwork using artificial intelligence (AI) text-to-image generators, with the winner receiving £1,000. Along with the winner, 10 shortlisted designs will be featured on Dezeen.

The prize will be judged by a panel including the "world's first AI designer" Tilly Talbot, who was revealed at this year's Milan design week.

This week saw Stockholm tech company Luvly unveil a flat-pack mini electric car that it believes is "significantly more energy efficient and cheaper to buy and run than almost all ICE and electric cars".

In other transport stories, the authors of the Ultimate Collector Motorcycles book named seven of the world's most prized motorbikes.

In architecture news, Japanese architect Tadao Ando unveiled the design for 2023 MPavilion in Melbourne, which will be the 10th edition of the annual commission.

In Japan, another Japanese architect, Sou Fujimoto, unveiled his contribution to the Tokyo Toilet project. His public toilet block incorporates an elongated communal sink.

Dezeen also featured the much-anticipated (W)rapper Tower in Los Angeles, which was designed by American architect Eric Owen Moss.

According to Moss, the building is "probably the safest building around".

"If there's an earthquake on Wednesday and you and I are working there, on Thursday, you can come back to work," he told Dezeen. "So this is not a building that will have to be redone or rebuilt."

We also covered the Fog X jacket, which was created by Swedish designer Pavels Hedström, and can make drinking water from fog.

The jacket won the first public vote in the Lexus Design Awards, which recognises prototypes that aim to build a better future.

Following the controversy over an exhibition featuring a "collection of glass figures embodying racist stereotypes" at Milan design week, designer Stephen Burks wrote an opinion piece reflecting on what the incident says about the state of the design industry.

"In Milan I found myself face-to-face with direct racial aggression," he wrote.

Popular projects on Dezeen this week include an office with columns made from thick wooden logs (above), a Pezo von Ellrichshausen-designed house that combines 12 buildings into one and a mirrored pavilion in  Oxfordshire.

Our latest lookbooks featured cave-like interiors that celebrate curved forms and brutalist Mexican interiors that prove concrete doesn't have to feel cold.
