“Above all, what matters is not to lose the joy of living in the fear of dying� - Maggie Jenicks
INRODUCTION Maggie was the founder of Maggie centres that accomodate those who sufferfrom cancer. It displays a clever approach to theraputic architecture in the way it focuses on how a person should feel and how architecture can play a part in doing so.

“People with cancer need places like these”
LANARKSHIRE MAGGIE CENTRE
study of maggie centers Scotland, Edinburgh. (2017)
To apply a better understanding of theraputic spaces , there was an opportunity to further visit existing maggies located in Scotland. The experience was remarkable and the lovely details and approach to interior design was inspiring. They all shared similiar qualities and atmosphere but all different in shape and architecture. The aspects of the buildings that stood out was the connection to the outside, connection to nature through transparency. Also the comfortable furniture making you feel at home. They were all also softly coloured which brought life to the space and especially very carefully lit up with amber tones that almost soothes you into resting or falling asleep. These are the aspects I therefore will apply into the pavillion space.

HONG KONG MAGGIE CENTRE The brief required a study of a specific maggie in order to deveop a better understanding of theraputic architecture. I watched this video from people wh have experienced the Hong kong maggie designed by Frank Gehry. They all had simiiar opinions and one that stood out was the idea of the space feeling like home.

GARDEN
Maggie’s Hong Kong is based in Tuen Mun Hospital. It was designed beautifully by Frank Gehry and the landscape design by Maggie’s daughter Lily Jencks. This is the first international Centre inspired by chinese gardens.
Key areas taken from Maggie centre
The maggie centre has three ponds and the interior spaces are full of colour. Each room represents a specific colour and the central are is the most significant as this allows views into the landscape as well as the ponds

SITE LOCATION LYE VALLEY, OXFORD
Lye valley is a nature reserve that has footpaths from the Churchill Hospital, Peat Moors, and the street called Lye Valley.
OXFORD MAGGIE CENTRE
CHURCHILL HOSPITAL The nearest hospital is Churchill which treates people who suffer from cancer. The walk from the hospital is 10/15 mins if you are entering the valley from peat moors.
SITE
It has a long path that flows through on which the way my building is facing it would not be difficult to notice the entrance
CHURCHILL HOSPITAL
The site is a very green space and I decided to place my building in front of the trees behind so you can get a view aswell as nature coming through the building’s glass enclosure
PAVILLION
SITE TREES
There are a wide range of trees, shrubs and flowering plants at Lye Valley, including alder (Alnus glutinosa), black bryony (Tamus communis), white bryony (Bryonia dioica), sloe (Prunus spinosa), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), grey and crack willow (Salix cinerea and Salix fragilis), ground elder. These all will reflect well with the glass in my building.
CONCEPT TOBY PATTERSON SCULPTURES
In every maggie I visited , there was a small sculpture in one room. Toby created these to represent 7 maggies. I was interested in the colours and the way it was put together and I started to imagine it as a space
2D MODEL
Yellow portrays a sense of happiness Gives the impression of sun, friendly environment Brightens an interior space Communicates cheerfulness, joy, energy
Bold, energetic, symbolising strength
Calm Lowers heart rate Represents dependability
COLOUR
The garden space is full of colour, the idea stemmed from the colours taken from the maggies aswell as Luis barragan and Theo van doesburg work. The idea is that you walk into something interesting that seperates itself from the rest of the building. The user gets a skylight view, trees and light. There is also a small library in which you can sit and read. The idea is that the garden serves as a relaxation.

The isolation pod consists of a material such as bandage and plaster. The inside has a pond as well as a sky light view inspired by Jame Turrel. The fabric leaves a lovely surface to be touched. The window therefore allows a view into the valley.

POND
The lye valley site is full of water, In order to create the atmosphere of water I decided to elevate the natural elements of the valley into my building instead of designing a swimming pool. The idea of the water was also taken from the Hong Kong maggie centre

INTERIOR ASPECTS LIVING SPACE
This is the space for having difficult conversation. It is the first space you see when one waks into the building. I took the idea from the Hong kong maggie to form the idea of a space feeling like home. You are surrounded by colour and a fire place creating warmth and softness to a persons well being. There is also glass that allows a view into the pond/ valley and garden space at the back.
KITCHEN
The yellow in this space is to create a happy atmosphere. It has a glass enclosure that allows views into the valley and the large pond. The yellow also forms a sense of warmth.
