- There is growing evidence that the spaces we inhabit have an impact on our well-being. And this has been the thinking behind the creation of cancer care centers in the UK. Maggie's Centers, a charity which provides support to cancer patients, has employed a number of big name architects for the construction of their buildings in the hopes that the architecture will aid in the healing process. We visited one of the centers in Leeds.

The more concept evolves, the more suffering and sleepless nights arch student go through, let me start reading books on it before my jury turns sour
I rather enjoyed researching salutogenic design theory for my thesis project. What higher purpose could possibly exist than to learn how to design clinical buildings that help people heal during the worst moments of their lives?
This building with all its curves and the naked walls could have been designed by the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Love it!
This building design by Thomas Heatherwick (1970-) . He is an English architect
This is beautiful and good thats its for those suffering from disease.
Building affects us because they are beyond natural geometry. We need nature to see the true world, with its mountains and rivers. Philosofy and biggest questions comes from observing the surroundings. Architecture as zumthor would call it, no-places for which no one feels anything, and they keep appearing as if it was whan human kind need for their well-being, in Spanish it's called "Platon's cavern", "la caverna de Platon" from José Saramago. He tries to explain how they dress us and make us belive we are looking at the truth when we can only see the shadows we are all reflecting. Always remember the minimal requeriment for the minimum life's quality is 8~10m2 per person and expect no less.
Seems calming until that reverb is filling the room with way too many voices from every direction
Awesome architecture!
Beautiful
Looks like the inside of a tree with the tree trunk inspired walls
I’m autistic and THIS is how every building should be designed. THIS right here is neuroaffirming architecture.
However, my only critique is the outside. It’s not very appealing, due to looking like it’s abandoned. I think a little maintenance of greenery would look nice. Perhaps include artificial greenery to make it stand out more.
Do like to share this video please.
Modern architecture sucks! Godless and souless.
The most visited building of Europe: Notre Dame.
Want to see what beauty means? Duomo di Milano. GOD bless.
My theory is that architecture where the architect is trying to show off their originality and creativity are awful (see the national museum of Australia) but architecture that has a purpose (to be healing or environmentally friendly or further back to glorify empire, reason and the spiritual) ends up being beautiful. We don't have to agree with the purpose, but the presence of that purpose makes a building beautiful (as well as symmetry and the golden ratio which must be observed for architecture to be at a bare minimum not ugly)
Looks neglected
