It sheds light on the pivotal relationship between the built social environment and human interaction, emphasizing the role of well-designed social spaces within hospital settings. The discourse articulates how current healthcare architectural practices often overlook the human-centric approach, favoring functionality over the intrinsic need for social interaction among patients. By evaluating existing hospital designs and innovative social spaces, the thesis underscores the importance of a more holistic, socially relevant architecture. Through a detailed analysis, it aims to foster a better understanding of environmental variables crucial for enhancing the patient experience during hospitalization. The thesis encapsulates the idea that the meticulous design of social spaces within hospitals not only serves the patients' mental and emotional well-being but also sets a precedent for broader architectural practices aimed at nurturing human interaction and promoting healing. Keywords: Interior Architecture, Hospitalization Experience, Long-term Patients, Social Spaces, Built Environment, Human-Centric Design, Healthcare Architecture, Social Interaction, Holistic Architectural Approach, Environmental Variables
