Since the opening of the first Maggie’s Centre in Edinburgh in 1996, Maggie’s has grown and developed a series of innovative and remarkable buildings designed by world class architects.

Whilst contemporary architecture has a reputation, sometimes deservedly, for being at times cold or alienating, each Maggie’s Centre, whether in Glasgow, London, or Hong Kong, provides a space where people feel at home and cared for, spaces which are warm, receptive, and welcoming There is currently 12 Maggie’s Centres located across britain and 3 planned centres abroad, architectural they all abide by a certain set of rules set in place by the Maggie’s founders that all buildings must be designed around a central kitchen to create feeling of home and community.

The aim of a Maggie's Centre is to provide an environment of practical and emotional support for people with cancer, their families and friends. Since the opening of the first Maggie's Centre in Edinburgh in 1996, the Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres foundation has grown substantially, commissioning and developing a series of innovative buildings designed by world class architects.

Maggie's Centre approached OMA to design a new centre on the grounds of Gartnavel hospital in Glasgow, close to the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. OMA designed a single-level building in the form of a ring of interlocking rooms surrounding an internal landscaped courtyard. Seemingly haphazardly arranged, the building is a careful composition of spaces responding to the needs of a Maggie's Centre and providing a refuge for those coping with cancer.

The main goal was to provide a space where people feel at home and cared for, a space that is warm, receptive, and welcoming.

This is an extraordinary building – a place of calm, simultaneously welcoming and open. Maggie’s Centres provide support for people with cancer, their families and friends. Exceptional architecture and innovative spaces make people feel better. This single-level building, a ring of interlocking rooms, is close to the Beatson Cancer Centre. The spaces feel casual but allow for privacy. The approach is about modest external expression, embracing a courtyard garden to generate a unique place of gentle contemplation and an exemplary caring environment.

We are absolutely delighted that Maggie’s Glasgow Gartnavel has been shortlisted for the Stirling. It’s an honour and a privilege to be up against such world class architects. Working with Rem Koolhaas was a privilege and he has created a building for people with cancer that is beautiful, uplifting and inspired. Whatever the outcome we are very proud of Maggie’s Gartnavel.

The RIBA Stirling Prize.

The RIBA Stirling Prize is awarded to the architects of the building which has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year. The award, established in 1996, is considered the most prestigious award in British architecture.

SITE PLAN

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Location was specifically selected for its semi-wooded, natural landscape, the design of the centre takes full advantage of the natural surroundings and potential of the site. Already a green area within the hospital grounds, the landscape design further enhances the current landscape, benefiting not just those visiting the Maggie’s Centre but all who come to the hospital grounds through additional planting and greening of the site.

PHYSICAL MODEL

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Creating a physical model allowed us to gain a greater understanding of the internal spaces and how circulation with in the building would work, also enhancing our perception of how the building relates to the contours of the site A series of overlapping and interlocking rooms, each with its own specific programmatic use. Playfully and seemingly haphazardly arranged, the building is a carefully considered composition of spaces arranged around an inner landscaped courtyard

PHYSICAL MODEL

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Through a minimal amount of spatial definition, L-shaped figures in plan create clearly distinguished zones of different programmatic use. The arrangement of rooms minimises the need for corridors and hallways allowing the rooms to flow from one to another as opposed to a series isolated rooms. At the same time the design also provides moments spaces for more private and personal conversations – either in the intimate setting of the counselling rooms, or in smaller nooks and private spaces contained in the design

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

PRIMARY STRUCTURE 1

2 3 4

4 concrete columns in total aide in supporting the roof structure transferring loads into the foundations.

3 columns in the large room help to support the section of the roof lacking in support from the internal walls

5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

1 column in the kitchen helps with structural loading where surrounding walls are not great enough to support the roof alone

PRIMARY STRUCTURE 1

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Plan highlighting the primary structural internal walls that create 7 internal spaces, this part of the structure combined with the 4 columns support the concrete roof

PRIMARY STRUCTURE 1

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The structure is supported by concrete slab raft foundations, this type of foundation spreads loads from the structure over a large area.

Raft foundations aide in reducing differential settlements as the concrete slab resists differential movements between loading positions.

12

Raft foundations are required on soft soils with low bearing capacity as they spread the load over a greater area.

PRIMARY STRUCTURE 1

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The structure consists of reinforced concrete walls that act as the primary support system for the roof.

The insulation has been placed inside of the wall to retain the effect of exposed concrete inside and out.

PRIMARY STRUCTURE 1

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

The structure consists of 4 load bearing columns 2 of which have been positioned inside of cupboards out of site this aides the internal walls in supporting the roof

PRIMARY STRUCTURE 1

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

The structure is comprised of a concrete roof that is supported by the primary load bearing columns and internal concrete walls, the roof is inlaid with beech plywood planks cast into the concrete

SECONDARY STRUCTURE 1

The glazing in the structure is non load-bearing.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Slimline frames have been used to give an almost frameless effect, so as not to detract from the expansive vistas.

The glazing continues vertically above the ceiling level, giving the effect of almost non-existent glazing.

The location of the office allows for a good visual connection with the entrance and overview of the building, whilst avoiding any sense of formal reception or observation. It is at the same time located away from the main areas of activity to allow the staff to work without distraction when necessary.

HEATING TRENCH LOCATION 1

The building is heated using an internal trench which sits parallel with the glazing in the building.

2

Advantages include:

3

Heat introduced at the lowest point and allowed to rise up naturally, heating the whole volume of the room.

4

Cold air coming through the windows pushes the air as it rises using convection, radiating it naturally around the room.

5 6

helps eliminate condensation through warming the glass itself.

7

8 9 10 11 12

TRENCH HEATING SYSTEM 1 2 3 4 5 6

Cold air from glazing produces a downward draught

7

This enters the trench through a steel grill

8 9 10 11 12

Warm air is released to heat the building.

Particularly efficient as it eliminates condensation when placed in front of glazing

THERMAL INSULATION 1 2 3 Due to the large amount of glazing the building suffers from heat loss, insulation has had to be over-compensated elsewhere to help combat this.

4 5 6 7

8 9 10 11 12

MECHANICAL VENTILATION 1

The kitchen area has specific ventilation requirements: For example the oven and cooker produce excess heat which is taken out by an extractor fan

2

warm air is extracted and circulated outside

3

Maintaining temperature and humidity of room

REASONS FOR NATURE ON SITE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

10 11 12

A sense of the natural world that whole cycle of the change and growth and everything coming to pass, we almost forget life is a series of cycles of change you get that from the natural world, you can connect with the garden, the patient see’s the leaves come on to the trees and fall off again. Create’s a sense of permanence what i look like now will change and come back again.

TREE SURVEY 1 2 3 4 5 6

During construction a small amount of low to moderate trees were removed to facilitate the new build.

As a number of trees were removed from site 120 trees of native species were planted on site as well as trees introduced to the parking areas, this further enhanced the natural surroundings.

Of the new trees to be planted, it is proposed that 75% of the trees along the pathways be mature at the time of planting and 25% of the remaining trees be mature.

Before construction could take place a detailed tree survey to assess the relative health and merits of the existing trees on site was undertaken by Aspen Tree Care The ground cover consists of native species, maintained to create a natural idyllic setting for the building providing a sense of relief and escape.

The following species have been found on site HAWTHORN GOAT WILLOW

TREE PROTECTION PLAN Root Protection Area (RPA) Protective Fencing / Construction Exclusion Zone Tree Categories on site: Category R Trees of no value to site or environment and are recommended for removal Category A Those of high quality and value: in such a condition as to be able to make a substantial contribution( a minimum of 40 years is suggested) Category B Those trees of moderate quality and value: those in such a condition as to make a significant contribution ( a minimum of 20 years is suggested )

Category C Those trees of low quality and value: currently in adequate condition to remain until new planting could be established or young trees with a stem diameter below 150 mm ( a minimum of 10 years is suggested )
