An atrium is a large open space located within a building, usually at the center, that is surrounded by multiple floors or wings of the building. It is typically covered by a glass roof to allow natural light to enter the space.
Atriums are used in building design as a way to create a central gathering space that connects different parts of a building. They can be used as lobbies for hotels or office buildings, as well as in shopping malls and other public spaces. Atriums also provide a way to add natural light and ventilation to the interior of a building. Additionally, they can be used to create a visual focal point that adds aesthetic appeal and a sense of spaciousness to the building.
