This week on Dezeen, plans were announced to expand the Hudson Yards development in New York with a series of supertall skyscrapers and a casino.

Developer Related Companies and Wynn Resorts released a series of renderings showing what the potential skyscrapers could look like, following proposals submitted to the city in February.

The renders show three skyscrapers directly west of the current Hudson Yards development, one of which will have a casino at its base.

This week also saw Saudi development Neom unveil its latest hotel resort planned for the Gulf of Aqaba coast, which is being designed by US studio Mark Foster Gage Architects.

Named Treyam, the 250-room hotel will be contained within a 450-metre-long bridge that will be topped with an infinity pool along its entire length.

Following the release of Dune: Part Two, we interviewed production designer Patrice Vermette about the films sets, which we published alongside a set of exclusive images.

According to Vermette, he put himself "in the position of the architect" when designing the film sets.

We continued our Social Housing Revival series with an opinion written by Owen Hatherley, who wrote that "social housing has become a matter of enclaves and micro-sites".

Also, we interviewed Californian politician Alex Lee, who said that social housing is America's "missing tool" to solve the housing crisis.

In Japan, US studio Pelli Clarke & Partners unveiled the country's tallest skyscraper, which forms part of the Azabudai Hills development in Tokyo.
