\"New <\/p>\n

This week on Dezeen<\/a>, we revealed OMA’s angular expansion of the\u00a0SANAA-designed New Museum<\/a> in Manhattan, New York.<\/p>\n

The extension doubles the museum’s footprint with added galleries and social spaces, which are concealed behind a facade that was designed to have a unique appearance compared to its blocky predecessor.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a>Also this week, Corinthian columns were proposed for the White House<\/a><\/p>\n

Controversy over the development of White House continued this week, as Commission of Fine Arts chair Rodney Mims Cook Jr suggested swapping the building’s Ionic columns for Corinthian<\/a> to match the\u00a0in-progress ballroom extension.<\/p>\n

Also as part of US president Donald Trump’s revamp of the White House, architecture studio AECOM unveiled its design for a subterranean visitor screening centre<\/a>, which would be built under the nearby Sherman Park.<\/p>\n

\"Futuristic<\/a>Edward Peck Design proposed a translucent canopy for the Chicago Bears’ stadium<\/a><\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the USA, architecture studio Edward Peck Design revealed its proposal to add a translucent canopy to the Chicago Bears’ stadium<\/a> in an effort to convince the NFL\u00a0team to stay in the city.<\/p>\n

The concept was developed to show how the existing stadium could be adapted to meet the need for a next-generation stadium, with a roof, expanded seating and an entertainment complex.<\/p>\n

\"Colosseum<\/a>Public space outside the Colosseum was revamped by Stefano Boeri Interiors<\/a><\/p>\n

In other architecture news, Italian studio Stefano Boeri Interiors revamped a piazza outside the Colosseum<\/a> in Rome.<\/p>\n

The semicircular outdoor space features 44 raised stone benches, which were placed to mark the footprints of original columns that once stood on the ancient Roman site.<\/p>\n

\"Professor<\/a>Researchers recycled plastic bottles into a Parkinson’s drug using bacteria<\/a><\/p>\n

University of Edinburgh researchers made advances in “bio-upcycling” this week, when they successfully used\u00a0bacteria\u00a0to turn\u00a0plastic waste into a Parkinson’s drug<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The process involved breaking down polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic and feeding it to genetically engineered E. coli bacteria, which built it back up again with a different molecular structure to form the drug L-DOPA.<\/p>\n

\"Casa<\/a>A home elevated on steel stilts was among the most popular projects this week<\/a><\/p>\n

Popular projects on Dezeen this week included a metal-clad home perched on steel stilts<\/a> in Barcelona, a home extension in London<\/a> with a timber-framed porch and a house in Saitama<\/a>,\u00a0Japan, that features moving walls.<\/p>\n

Listen to our journalists talk about the key design and architecture stories of the past seven days on our Dezeen Weekly podcast, which this week focused on a study indicating that architecture is highly exposed to automation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
