About
The Library is a warm and welcoming community space where visitors can work or read at our small round tables and comfortable SANAA-designed leather chairs or relax near the fireplace during colder months. Books in the Library are available for purchase and loan, spanning five focus areas that correspond with and expand upon our initiatives.
On view in the Library are two large-scale photographs by German artist Thomas Demand. These compositions show the multitude of architectural models created by SANAA as they designed Grace Farms and offer insight into the iterative process that produced the River building.
In the middle of the Library is our Justice Bar, which highlights our Justice Initiative with digital and print resources for guests to learn about the global crime of human trafficking and modern day slavery.
