  • Can Kylie Jenner detoxify AI smart glasses?
    Jul 3 2026

    Would we wear the new Meta smart glasses? Is Frank Gehry's Abu Dhabi opera house actually pretty good? And why did Paris Fashion Week feel like the last days of the Roman Empire?

    In this episode, Dezeen design editor Jennifer Hahn and architecture reporter Amy Peacock discuss Meta's collaboration with Kylie Jenner on its first designed-in-house smart glasses.

    Then, they consider the late Frank Gehry's performing arts venue on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, which has drawn some unflattering comparisons from Dezeen commenters having just begun construction.

    Lastly, they reflect on the noteworthy moments from a Paris Fashion Week Menswear that took place as France sweltered in a deadly heatwave.

  • Why are we obsessed with liminal space?
    Jun 5 2026

    This week, we discuss a new architecture-themed horror film, some concerning news about green walls and a new architectural term that one of our hosts has audaciously coined.

    In this episode, Dezeen features editor Nat Barker and design editor Jennifer Hahn consider Backrooms – a surprise-hit horror movie from a 20-year-old director – and its origins in the internet's fascination with "liminal space".

    Then, they talk through new research indicating that plastic-potted green wall systems could make fire spread up building facades faster than the cladding used on Grenfell Tower.

    Finally, they discuss Nat's claim that a new architectural style has emerged in the UK and beyond.
