Maggie's Centre, Gartnavel, Glasgow by OMA

摘要

One of two OMA buildings on this year's shortlist, and as so often with these centres, it's personal: Rem Koolhaas of OMA knew Maggie Keswick Jencks, herself a cancer victim, who conceived the idea of these supportive, domestic-scale centres. OMA failed to win in 2007 with its Casa da Musica in Porto: can it succeed with this clever but much less strident little circlet of a building? If so, it would be the second Maggie's to win after Rogers' London one in 2009.
