In contemporary architecture, a border between an exterior and an interior—a façade—is variously designed in terms of form, style, response to climate or culture, individual approach or tools used. Despite the diversity and multi-tread theoretical and practical discourse, the Authors propose the typology of contemporary façades for public buildings (open to society) in the context of European cities by extracting comprehensive architectural features. The term systematic reflects the complexness of the issue by the newly proposed element. Namely, it is a representation of a particular architectural feature with the use of scale. The elaboration consists of (1) an introduction with a literature review and thesis, (2) our aim and method, (3) a historical background; case studies, and systematics introduction (4) conclusions with typology proposal.

In recent years, the interest in balneological, relaxation and beauty treatments has increased. Peloid is the most expensive SPA product, just after manual massage, and Osieczna has natural deposits of this porous, unpolluted peat, which has an overheating, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effect. Therefore, study on development possibilities of aforementioned area, are especially important for national economy and business, taking local truism into account (pandemic problematics). According to mentioned highlights, this work was divided into four parts: Osieczna (location, historical context, natural values and cultural heritage resources), existing tourist accommodation, possible directions for the development of the tourist base and conclusions – guidelines for the design of new resorts (explains why Osieczna has a great potential to become a health and SPA resort).

Properly prepared accommodation base, apart from specific tourist values, world situation and advanced infrastructure, has a great impact on contemporary tourism development. The paper focuses on main features of Lower Silesian tourist accommodation establishments founded in entered into the heritage register castles and palaces. As observed, tourist base is subject to dynamic changes and stands out with susceptibility to various factors, hence new types of lodgings with specific characteristics appear. One of the tendencies is growing interest in historical landmarks overnight stays. Simultaneously, the voivodeship, as the only one in Poland, despite ongoing pandemic, recorded increase in the number of accommodation enterprises. Therefore, it seems that there is a great need for further research aimed at understanding the potential and trends in such complexes creation.
