Maggie\u2019s Centres<\/a> are built around her belief that people should not \u201close the joy of living in the fear of dying\u201d\u00a0and that the\u00a0centres should be uplifting places, To carry this out, the organization\u00a0asked a handful of prominent\u00a0architects including\u00a0Frank Gehry<\/strong>, Zaha Hadid<\/strong>, OMA<\/strong>, Richard Rogers<\/strong>,\u00a0and Sn\u00f8hetta\u00a0<\/strong>to offer their unique interpretations of\u00a0the Maggie\u2019s brief, creating individual spaces of solace and care.<\/p>\n

This year’s auction\u2014which features the work of both artists and architects\u2014will include the donated works of four architects who have contributed Maggie\u2019s Centres themselves: Ted Cullinan<\/strong>, Chris Wilkinson<\/strong> of Wilkinson Eyre, and Piers Gough<\/strong> of CZWG, responsible for the Newcastle, Oxford, and Nottingham Centres respectively.<\/p>\n
