Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn / Art & interiors

Central Library, Brooklyn Public Library

An open book in the shape of a building. A place to read without needing a destination.

WHY WE INCLUDED IT

The building’s two wings were designed to suggest an open book. Inside, collections and public cultural programs make room for a different pace beside Grand Army Plaza.

A SMALL INVITATION

Read a page you did not arrive intending to read. Leave your phone in your pocket for that page.

AFTER THE WALK

Take the quieter way home.

Once you are comfortably seated somewhere still, make a little room for a three-minute pause.
