description

This volume celebrates the culmination of a visionary 30-year project to renew the National Library of Israel led by Yad Hanadiv – the Rothschild Foundation: Herzog & de Meuron’s architectural icon in the heart of Jerusalem. It invites readers to think of the library as a public space, as an object, a concept and a spiritual entity. The book includes original stories by leading authors from Israel and abroad, artwork by Zoya Cherkassky, photographs by three outstanding Israeli photographers and a graphic novella by Rutu Modan.
