Hello Dezeen mailing list! Our readers have been busy these last few weeks, posting more comments than ever before. Thanks for making us the most vibrant forum for design debate on the web! See another selection of our favourites below.

Tomorrow we're off to the Venice for the Architecture Biennale - keep an eye on our special category for our reports. Then next week the London Design Festival starts, and our coverage has already started here.

We have some bad news too: our exhibition, Menagerie at The Jones, was due to open next week but has been postponed due to a flood at the hotel. At this stage we are not sure when the exhibition will be rescheduled. We're really sorry for all the designers who were going to show their work and for everyone who put so much effort into this show. Keep an eye on this page for updates.

A reader called Freedom is one of many to point out an apparent flaw in MVRDV's Tirana Rocks project in Albania. Guys, it's only a masterplan... Read the story and comments »

Our selection of work by Kelly McCallum has prompted Zuy and others to request that we don't publish this kind of thing again. But then we wouldn't get so many interesting comments (over 50 on this story so far...) Read the story and comments »

Jed's criticism of our story on Querkraft's new Museum Liaunig in Austria is a common one. But we can only publish drawings if the architects send them to us... architects take note! Read the story and comments »

Alright alright. We made a mistake in our story about Triptyque's plant-covered Harmonia 57 project in Sao Paolo: there is no such language as Brazilian. Sorry Alex (and others). Read the story and comments »

Gorenje's iPod fridge is a cynical story to post, according to Xit. That's not true - we had no idea it would prove so comment-worthy.  Read the story and comments »

cognacsqu-cognac-hand.jpg

While other readers argue the toss over Rikke Hagen's stemless Cognac glasses, our regular commenter Zuy contributes an overview of the drink's adoptation by African Americans. Read the story and comments »

Gordon McGinn is blown away by the work by model-people artist Slinkachu. Read the story and comments »

Horst Thorn notes that Leonardo Glass Cube by 3Deluxe is a year old and has been published elsewhere before. Does that mean we shouldn't have published it? Read the story and comments »

atelier-in-ushimado-by-tezuka-architects-squ057-001s.jpg

Antimercantil offers a surreal critique of Tezuka Architects' studio-house in Ushimado, Japan. Most others loved it though. Read the story and comments »

Finally, our stickers were such a success in Milan (modelled above by Tokujin Yoshioka, Arik Levy, Ben van Berkel and Stephen Burks) that we've printed more to give out at the Venice Architecture Biennale and the London Design Festival.

See you there!

Love Marcus, Rupinder and Rose
