Abstract: The many effects of courtyard design on social interaction, psychological health, and thermal comfort are examined in this study. Many aspects of courtyard design, such as shape, orientation, opening ratio, and environmental factors, are studied through a thorough analysis of the literature that has already been published. The study emphasizes how crucial courtyard design is for maximizing thermal comfort, especially in warm areas, with square-shaped courtyards and higher heights working well to provide shade and sustain acceptable temperatures. Examining the psychological consequences of courtyard design also reveals important social and cultural benefits. Overall, the study highlights how courtyard design has a wide range of significant effects on people's well-being. Courtyard design emerges as a key component in developing spaces that support people's physical, psychological, and social well-being by including concepts of thermal comfort, social interaction, and connection to nature.
