This manuscript presents an unpublished case study, showing theresearch conducted for the design of the multireligious room and the process of its construction. Themethodology includes a bibliographic review, architectural analysis of three meditation spaces, andin-depth interviews with stakeholders. This project highlights SJD’s commitment to blending careand design, emphasizing the humanization of hospital spaces. The triad of religion, public space,and society makes more sense here than ever before.
