The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features a home surrounded by concrete blocks by design studio Nendo. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.
Design studio Nendo has completed a home in Japan that has a triangular form and is enclosed in walls made out of concrete blocks.
Commenters discussed the home, with one asking "Why does this house in the middle of nowhere – need such brutal privacy screens in the first place?" Another thought the home would be better suited "in an urban environment".
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section include Moreau Kusunoki Architectes and Frida Escobedo Studios' plans to renovate the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Kanye West's decision to strip the interior of a Malibu home designed by Tadao Ando and a performing arts centre in Uganda by Hassell and Localworks.
