Abstract
The accepted definition of an academic library states that its primary purpose is to support the curriculum and research of university faculty and students; however, the essence of an academic library as embodied in its architecture is far more complex. Academic libraries in Israel are one-of-a-kind in that they have more intellectual planning processes as well as more financial support and funding resources.

Introduction
A building's architecture is directly influenced by contemporary architectural discourse, technological developments, physical conditions, and programme demands. These elements are in addition to indirect influences such as political and economic constraints, flexibility, and the social environment. The discussion focuses on three critical parameters that, among other things, influenced the physical structure of the academic library. [1, 2].
Materials and Method
Academic libraries have higher morphological visibility than libraries designed for different audiences, which is also true for other university facilities. Only a few academic libraries were built as separate buildings prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. For example, 'The House of Books' evolved into the National Library, which is located on Mount Scopus (1930), and the Schocken Library, which is an independent private library for researchers and scholars (1935) [3,4].
The physical appearance of the library represents aspects of functionality and conveys how visitors and staff interact with it. The architecture is also influenced by ongoing technological developments, which inevitably change the space of the library. As a result, the library gains physical characteristics as an architectural representation of maximum knowledge accessibility. [5, 6, 7].
Conclusion
University libraries in Israel are regarded as more impressive and appealing than the majority of the country's other types of libraries. They distinguish themselves through distinct intellectual planning processes and increased financial support. This is evident in their architectural appearance and representation: large buildings, highquality materials, refined interior design, and furniture. [8, 9, 10].
