麦琪中心因Maggie Keswick Jencks首创的新型医疗及护理体系于1996年在爱丁堡成立,如今已经遍布英国和海外,致力于向癌症患者提供情感以及医疗技术支持,并且成为他们的“另一个家”。刚刚落成的曼彻斯特中心已经是英国境内的第17座,而之前的麦琪中心,都由顶尖的建筑大师设计建造。抱着建筑元素对精神的积极影响和对医学治疗过程的辅助作用的信念以及对麦琪治疗体系的宗旨的理解,诺曼福斯特为他们设计曼彻斯特中心时,旨在营造一个有本地风情和气氛的公园,公园位于一条绿荫道的尽头,距离克里斯蒂医院和它顶尖的脑瘤中心仅仅几步之遥。
曼彻斯特中心所在的建筑基地阳光充足,低调地将几乎所有室内功能分布在一个楼层内,保持了与周围住宅在尺度上的和谐。房顶在中央凸起, 以此形成了一个夹层,通过三角形的屋顶进行自然采光,并由轻盈的木格梁作为支撑结构。同时木梁也成为了不同室内区域的自然区隔,在视觉上将建筑融入到周围的公园景致中。
麦琪中心内部融合了多种不同的功能,从私密的角落到图书馆,有健身房和可以聚在一起喝杯茶的社交空间。建筑的核心空间是一个以一个大尺度的公用餐桌为中心的厨房。典型的传统医疗空间元素,如走廊,医院标识等被尽可能的避免,以此使建筑内部空间尽量居家化。除此之外,建材主要选用暖色调,自然木材以及触感舒适的纺织品。工作人员在室内空间内将尽量被削弱存在感时却又不远离患者,并且容易被找到。工作人员的办公室因此被安排在夹层的中脊结构上,下方是洗手间及储物空间,这样的安排保持了整栋建筑内部自然视觉的连贯性。

在整个中心内,自然光线,绿化和公园景致始终是焦点。线性的空间分布被庭院景观不时穿插,而建筑的西翼一直延伸到一个宽大的,被深挑的顶棚遮盖阳台。滑动玻璃门将建筑向Dan Pearson Studio设计的公园打开。建筑东部的每一个治疗室和咨询室都 对着各自的小花园。建筑的南端止于一个充满阳光和植物的花房。花房提供了一个花园般的休憩所,一个人们可以聚集在这里,享受自然和户外的治愈作用的地方。这里可以种植花草以及可供中心内使用的作物,以此帮助患者在他们最脆弱的时刻寻求自己生命的价值。
该中心由Foster + Partners建筑事务所设计并且施工,内部家具由Norman Foster 和 Mike Holland共同设计,并由Mike Holland带领的工业设计团队生产。其中包括了厨房 单元,桌子,餐具橱柜以及其他的储物单元。
Located across Britain and abroad, Maggie’s Centres are conceived to provide a welcoming ‘home away from home’ – a place of refuge where people affected by cancer can find emotional and practical support. Inspired by the blueprint for a new type of care set out by Maggie Keswick Jencks, they place great value upon the power of architecture to lift the spirits and help in the process of therapy. The design of the Manchester centre aims to establish a domestic atmosphere in a garden setting and, appropriately, is first glimpsed at the end of a tree-lined street, a short walk from The Christie Hospital and its leading oncology unit.
The building occupies a sunny site and is arranged over a single storey, keeping its profile low and reflecting the residential scale of the surrounding streets. The roof rises in the centre to create a mezzanine level, naturally illuminated by triangular roof lights and it is supported by lightweight timber lattice beams. The beams act as natural partitions between different inteal areas, visually dissolving the architecture into the surrounding gardens. The centre combines a variety of spaces, from intimate private niches to a library, exercise rooms and places to gather and share a cup of tea. The heart of the building is the kitchen, which is centred on a large, communal table. Institutional references, such as corridors and hospital signs have been banished in favour of home-like spaces. To that end the materials palette combines warm, natural wood and tactile fabrics. Staff will be unobtrusive, yet close and accessible. Support offices are placed on a mezzanine level positioned on top of a wide central spine, with toilets and storage spaces below, maintaining natural visual connections across the building.
Throughout the centre, there is a focus on natural light, greenery and garden views. The rectilinear plan is punctuated by landscaped courtyards and the entire weste elevation extends into a wide veranda, which is sheltered from the rain by the deep overhang of the roof. Sliding glass doors open the building up to a garden setting created by Dan Pearson Studio. Each treatment and counselling room on the easte façade faces its own private garden. The south end of the building, extends to embrace a greenhouse – a celebration of light and nature – The greenhouse provides a garden retreat, a space for people to gather, to work with their hands and enjoy the therapeutic qualities of nature and the outdoors. It will be a space to grow flowers and other produce that can be used at the centre giving the patients a sense of purpose at a time when they may feel at their most vulnerable.
The centre, designed and engineered by Foster + Partners, also features bespoke fuiture designed by Norman Foster with Mike Holland who heads out the industrial design team in the practice. These include kitchen units and table, sideboards and other shelving units.
