Conceptual installations by Gucci, Bocci, Fisher & Paykel, and Grohe Spa are also covered. Additionally, the issue includes Tim McKeough's review of OMA's expansion of the New Museum in New York, which he describes as solving circulation issues of the original SANAA design while showing deference to it.

The issue also features Spec Sheets on bathroom fixtures and acoustics collections.
