New Maggie's Centre Glasgow - News Jan 2008
OMA’s Rem Koolhaas to design Maggies Gartnavel. This is stunning
news as Rem is one of the most celebrated architects in the world. Charles
Jencks has through Maggies Centre patronage now managed to bring 3 of
the world’s greatest architects to Scotland: Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid
and now Rem Koolhaas. All 3 have had very little built in Britain. Gehry
has a project in Brighton and Hadid has the Transport Museum but in both
cases their Scottish Maggies Centre was their 1st UK building. Rem Koolhaas
has some projects in London but (apart from a temporary pavilion) similarly
has not yet built in the UK.
Gartnavel Centre is close to the Beatson Centre with its oncology department

Park in Glasgow and Inverness to Zaha Hadid in Kirkcaldy.
