A WORD FROM THE CEO

EDITOR’S NOTE

BILLIONAIRE

A Modern Muse

OPINIONS • In each issue we ask three thought leaders to share their opinion on the same question. This issue: what is your favourite city for architecture, and why?

Sicilian Soul

GIFTING • After this strange, stop-and-start year, we could all use a little effervescence this Christmas. What better way to put a spring in your step than conceiving the perfect present for a loved one. And maybe, while you’re looking, a little something for yourself.
