MAGGIE’S CENTRE, CAMBRIDGE
FEBRUARY 2025
The Architect's Journal has published a news article on our project for a new Maggie's Centre in Cambridge. The new Maggie’s Centre is planned to support the patient community at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. It will replace a temporary facility that has been located in repurposed flats for over ten years. The new, purpose-built centre will provide people affected by cancer with comforting and inspiring spaces to decompress, seek support, and participate in activities, away from the clinical hospital environment.

ARCHITECTURE AS AN INSTRUCTION-BASED ART – HARVARD UNIVERSITY EXHIBITION
SEPTEMBER 2024
An exhibition has opened at the Druker Design Gallery at Harvard University titled ‘Architecture as an Instruction-Based Art’. The exhibition is a selection of drawings which are used to coordinate the process of construction, that is, drawings which reflect the nature of architecture as an “instruction-based” art. We selected a drawing from our International Rugby Experience project in Ireland that shows the complex co-ordination and layering of construction from ceiling to roof level. Here each bay of the sculptural ceiling transitions upwards from an expansive oculus aligned with the building axes, twisting through 20 degrees to accommodate eye-shaped north-facing skylights and bespoke solar shades at roof level.
The exhibition has been curated by the Farshid Moussavi and runs until the 15th October. More information can be found on the Harvard website here.
