library emerges directly
                     from the ground; its section
                     reveals an intricate set of
                     connections between its
                     various levels and wings.
                     This principle appears in
                     other libraries built in Israel
                     at the time, such as Beit
                     Ariela in Tel Aviv (designed
                     by Moshe Lofenfeld and
                     Giora Gamerman with
                     Michael Azmanov and
                     Shmuel Shaked, 1977),
                     and the central library at
                     the Mount Scopus campus
                     of the Hebrew University
                     (designed by Yaakov Rechter
                     and Dora Gad, 1981).

                           Plans for subsequent
                     libraries designed by the
                     firm took into account their
                     systematic integration
                     within their environmental
                     context, as well as their
