This research delves into the transformative potential of architecture in shaping the future of libraries by focusing on spatial quality, facilities, and ambience, placing users' needs and preferences at the core of the investigation. The primary objective is to ascertain whether architecture can and should assume a pivotal role in reshaping the trajectory of libraries. The study extensively explores the multifaceted needs of individuals in futuristic library settings, aiming to decipher whether technological advancements alone suffice or if the incorporation of new technologies alongside captivating spatial environments while preserving the essence of traditional libraries, primarily books, is the key to meeting users' expectations. By centring on users and their desires, this research endeavours to unveil the essential elements that define a futuristic library and elucidate the delicate balance between technological innovation and the timeless allure of literature within the library space, to eventually create welcoming, dynamic spaces that foster community engagement, learning, and exploration within libraries. The methodology incorporated the mixed methods approach. A -comprehensive set of indicators were established through the synergy of available literature which included various existing theoretical and analytical models and case studies. This synergy was further interpreted in the form of a questionnaire. A cross sectional purposive study was conducted through a survey with help of the questionnaire where visitors of 3 public libraries situated in New Delhi participated. The online survey was conducted through Google forms sent to 60 willing participants out of which 60 of them attempted the survey. The rate of response was 68.33% indicating 41 respondents who completed the survey. From results of the data collected through the questionnaires, the analysis and discussions could be derived to arrive at a cohesive direction of the existing theories and the community’s idea and aspirations of the image of a modern library to indicate an architectural ambient design approach for the Indian libraries of the future.
