atriums
Open interior courts
Atriums is the plural of atrium, a central open space in a building, typically rising through multiple stories and often topped with a skylight.
Modern hotels, malls, and office buildings feature atriums as architectural centerpieces: The hotel's atrium was filled with plants and natural light.
In anatomy, the atria are the upper chambers of the heart that receive blood from the veins.
