According to reports, the city of Balneário Camboriú in Brazil has approved plans for a residential tower that developers claim will be the world's tallest – standing over 500 meters high.

If completed, the tower's height will qualify it as a supertall skyscraper, a designation for buildings that exceed 300 meters.

This week's newsletter also featured Heatherwick Studio's plans for a rippled-glass shopping centre in Seoul, a pair of hiking trousers with a built-in exoskeleton by Outdoor brand Arc'teryx and Google spinoff Skip and a "living laboratory" garden at the Natural History Museum by Feilden Fowles.
