This thesis aims to shed light on the interplay between space, power, and childbirth. It seeks to demonstrate that birthing spaces are not neutral but rather reproduce societal notions of the body, gender, safety, and care. At the same time, it examines how alternative spatial concepts can help strengthen self-determination and autonomy during childbirth. This thesis is intended for professionals in the fields of architecture, interior design, and obstetrics, as well as for anyone interested in feminist theory and the design of health-related spaces.
