On newsstands now, our office issue highlights four spaces that are embracing the work-anywhere revolution: Montreal architecture firm La Shed turns a centuries-old general store into its own gleaming all-white think tank; in London, U.K., grocery chain Sainsbury’s creates a dynamic environment that encourages flexible activity-based working; Campari sets up shop in Toronto, with a pink-imbued headquarters; and in China, a digital communications company reconfigures an industrial park into a futuristic and immersive centre.

Visiting New York City this summer? We’ve put together a top 10 list of must-see events and attractions happening throughout the city, from quirky art installations to West 8’s transformation of Governors Island into a rambling public playground complete with four super-slides.
