The design emphasises sustainability, user wellbeing, and the Academy’s mission to nurture and develop the language. At the heart of the complex is the Hebrew Language Plaza, a public courtyard that serves as a metaphor for the language itself.
The building’s design reflects the duality of Hebrew, with horizontal volumes and flowing voids inspired by the graphic flow of written Hebrew, while robust exterior forms and soft, undulating interior ceilings echo the contrast between spoken Hebrew’s strength and gentleness. This thoughtful design creates a dynamic and immersive environment that honors the legacy and future of Hebrew.
