What’s Inside: Residential Design & Lighting, Soft Seating, Reports from NeoCon and NYCxDesign

What makes a great city? A vibrant cultural scene, safe and inclusive public spaces, retail, recreation and hospitality experiences that reinvigorate both residents and visitors. In the Sept/Oct 2025 issue, we tour Printemps, a new and exciting department store in New York; and take deep dives into the state of museum architecture (starring V&A East Storehouse in London and Fenix Museum of Migration in Rotterdam) and Toronto’s outstanding Biidaasige Park, by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates.
