As London’s 1998 British Library is granted the highest level of protection, we ask what constitutes heritage and what makes this building so special. We also open up our summer suitcase of fashion and other beach essentials as the season hots up. Plus: as Washington DC opts for an official font, we ask if Neutra is the right decision.
