Travel plans? If you’re spending a few days in a major city and your interests tend toward current architecture, design and culture, see if there is a Wallpaper City Guide for your destination city. Pocket-sized and succinct, these guides provide a glimpse of the newest architecture and hot spots, along with older sites that shouldn’t be missed. iPhone apps for some cities are now available. Not surprisingly by the publishers of Wallpaper magazine.
