 abstract={The growing number of people falling ill with cancer is accompanied by the development of treatment methods that allow for the recovery or significant extension of the patients’ lives. Some solutions come to the rescue, which, even in terminal cases, can affect their quality of life. These comprise modern hospices, including those that are daycare. This category includes Maggie’s centres, under the patronage of the organisation of the same name, operating on the basis of (developed over time) thoughts on palliative care left by Maggie Keswick Jencks. They stand out from others with a clearly defined program and original architecture designed by outstanding designers. Its properties as a therapeutic environment have been analysed so far using qualitative methods, used by researchers representing various scientific disciplines. The results of these analyses have been compared with studies conducted using the space syntax method. This enabled us to draw conclusions of an application nature that can support a more informed approach to the design of such facilities in order to optimize their impact on the well-being of both patients and their loved ones and staff.},
