The case analysed was the Good Samaritan Hospice in Lublin, which, due to its complexity, can be considered a representative example of stationary hospices established through adaptation, extension, or reuse of existing buildings. This article highlights the role of individual participants in the process, from the inception of the idea, through the organisation and conduct of a workshop, to the implementation of the first elements developed. Based on problem analysis, solutions consistent with contemporary trends in the design of palliative care facilities were developed. Our case study allowed for drawing general conclusions and identified a method for improving the quality of the architectural environment of existing facilities, namely design workshops.}, title={Workshops as a Tool in Improving Environmental Conditions in Existing Palliative Care Facilities Based on the Good Samaritan Hospice in Lublin}, type={Article}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/137943/2025-TEKA-13.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2025.157379}, keywords={hospice, modernisation, architecture of palliative care facilities, design workshops}, }
