Produktbeschreibung
The National Library of Israel, the latest building by star architects Herzog & de Meuron, is being constructed in the heart of Jerusalem in collaboration with Israeli lead architect Mann-Shinar. Resembling an open book, the iconic building represents a physical repository for Israeli literature, culture, and history. This publication celebrates the architecture and demonstrates the importance of libraries in our digital age. It is the culmination of a visionary 30-year project to renew Israel's National Library under the direction of Yad Hanadiv (Rothschild Foundation). This volume on Herzog & de Meuron's architectural icon, constructed in collaboration with Mann-Shinar, takes the reader on a journey: How does a design, mortar, and stone transform a public space for cultural exchange? Illustrations from the construction phases, texts by leading Israeli authors, drawings by Zoya Cherkassky, and a graphic novel by Rutu Modan make this bibliophile volume a unique monograph on the building.
