Not your standard deconstruction project. Before the UK's new tallest skyscraper can rise, teams must carefully dismantle an existing 1960s tower in the heart of the City of London.

One of football’s most iconic stadiums is set to be partially demolished, and its replacement has just been revealed. AC Milan and Inter Milan have unveiled plans for the 71,500-seat new Generali Stadium, designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA to replace the legendary San Siro.
The new stadium will be built alongside the existing ground, allowing both clubs to continue playing there during construction before much of the historic structure is demolished.
The new venue's distinctive exterior features a concrete X-frame supporting a sweeping, double-curved roof. Inside, two tiers of seating will wrap around the pitch, with steep stands rising at up to 37 degrees behind each goal to bring supporters closer to the action.
The project follows years of debate over the future of San Siro, which first opened in 1926. Previous plans for a replacement designed by Populous were abandoned following disputes over the site’s heritage.
Construction is now expected to begin in 2028, with the first match targeted for the 2031-32 season, subject to planning approvals.
It's hoped the Generali Stadium can be ready for Italy's co-hosting of the UEFA Euros in 2032.

China’s Sany IROOTECH Headquarters has been named the Best Tall Building Worldwide for 2026 by @CVUrbanism. Designed by @SOM_Design, the project features two towers rising 204-metres and 186-metres above Guangzhou.
Both towers feature exposed steel-and-concrete exoskeletons that support the floors from outside the buildings, creating flexible, column-free interiors. The structures have been designed to withstand earthquakes, using specially engineered connections that dissipate energy through friction during major seismic events.
Every fifth floor features a planted terrace, while an elevated podium connects the towers and frees up ground-level space for a public plaza, gardens and pedestrian routes.
Commissioned by Chinese construction machinery giant Sany Group, the complex was constructed in just three years.
The project also picked up awards for Best Tall Building in Asia, Best Tall Building between 200-299 metres, and structural engineering.
The project beat competition including New York’s 270 Park Avenue, which took the award for the best skyscraper over 300-metres.
