The article discusses the problems of the architectural environment of the system of maternity hospitals and perinatal centers of our country. Various approaches to the modernization of such institutions are described, including on the basis of the formation of an “optimal” architectural and spatial environment that has a therapeutic and therapeutic effect on the patient. The methodological base of the study is determined, which allows to assess the state of the architectural environment of obstetric facilities using the example of individual cities in southern Russia. Field surveys are carried out based on the methodology of complex pre-project studies, covering the action of various factors, and including: urban planning analysis; architectural and landscape analysis; social, historical and cultural analysis. During the examination, the characteristic qualities of the external and internal environment of obstetric care institutions are identified and systematized, including: a) at the city-planning level, the geographical and city-planning location of some objects with a perinatal function, the convenience of their placement and layout of buildings, and zoning of the territory are assessed; b) at the level of architectural and landscape analysis, the presence of natural components, recreational and green zones in the areas was determined; c) at the level of socio-historical, cultural, and compositional analysis, the plasticity and scale of the facade solutions of perinatal centers are assessed, the style and imaginative-emotional qualities of their interiors are analyzed, and the prevailing level of visual “comfort” of the architectural spaces of maternity hospitals with physical, emotional rehabilitation of patients is assessed. The results obtained allows to outline ways of modernizing objects with a perinatal function and forming a new therapeutic architectural environment in them.
