The concept of leisurely travel has been in flux in recent times. In T Magazine's Fall Travel issue, we discover a more contemplative mode of getting there, and being there, whether the destination is a place or something less defined. Whether with Michael Kimmelman finding Marseille, France, despite a slew of ambitious development projects, as gloriously scrappy as ever, or with the surreal and severe beauty of Craig McDean's portraits from Iceland's wilderness, a sense of really being present, a sense of place, is more important than a contrived sense of adventure. We also explore the Restoration Hardware tycoon Gary Friedman's desire to become a force of disruption in the contemporary art world, a resurgence in appreciation for almost-forgotten Indian Modernist furniture and a family's attempt to reinvigorate one of Britain's most famous gardens by restoring its traditional agriculture.
