A rug factory in Rangpur, Bangladesh, has been named the world’s best new building outside the UK, and Bex, Eve and Joe talk through why the Green Field Factory by Nakshabid Architects won the RIBA International Prize, from its courtyards, ponds and gardens to a rooftop daycare centre for the children of the more than 5,000 people who work there.

There’s also Mont Blanc shrinking by more than a metre in the past year, audiobook trainers that open Spotify with a tap of your phone for Real or Rubbish, Sgiath the Labrador, who sniffs out sea squirts, crowned Animal of the Year as hero of the week, and a big debate on whether schools should scrap screens.

Plus who the team would make out of cake after a baker’s model of the Princess of Wales, the results of the data centres debate, a painted pen pot and a cardboard bed den from the inbox, Helen Parry’s A Scrap of Moss and Magic as Book of the Week, and your chance to win a copy.
