This week on Dezeen, BIG founder Bjarke Ingels revealed that he is master planning a "new city in America" for five million people.

The city, named Telosa, is being designed for US entrepreneur Marc Lore and set to be built on an unoccupied 150,000-acre site in the US desert "from scratch".

"Our vision is to create a new city in America that sets a global standard for urban living, expands human potential and becomes a blueprint for future generations," said a statement from Telosa.

Also in the USA, Logan Architecture completed four 3D-printed homes in Austin, which developer ICON claims are the first 3D-printed houses available for sale in the country.

"They are the first 3D-printed homes for sale in the US and ready for move-in," ICON told Dezeen.
