"Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres" Maggies Cancer Care Centre drop-in centre, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, Tayside, Scotland, UK

Frank Gehry was selected to design Dundee Maggies Centre by friend Charles Jencks and his former wife - Maggie Keswick-Jencks - who died of cancer and set about creating civilised buildings for people learning to cope with cancer. In September 2003, The Dundee Maggie Centre, the first building designed by Frank Gehry in the UK, opened its doors to those diagnosed with cancer and seeking support. In response to this, The University of Dundee hosted a one day international symposium, “Breathing space”, at the same time, which generated significant discussion on the relationship between architectural design and cancer care.
