AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Childbirth is a significant experience in a woman's life, and the well-being of expectant mothers during pregnancy and labor is crucial. Hospital and clinic interiors, while prioritizing medical aspects, also play a role in contributing to patients' spiritual well-being. This bachelor's thesis explores how interior design with organic design features can influence the well-being of birthing women, the birth process, and promote a positive perception of psychological comfort for patients. The focus is on birth centers, labor rooms, and the use of curvilinear design elements to transform cold hospital-like spaces into warm and comforting environments for a positive childbirth experience. A qualitative method will be employed, examining the history of birth environments, the impact of interior design elements, and conducting a multiple case study to identify positive and healing interior architectural aspects. Keywords: childbirth, interior design, organic design, curvilinear elements, birth centers, labor rooms, well-being, medical facilities
