Pioneering cancer charity Maggie's have recieved planning permission for a 19th location – an idyllic centre designed by Heatherwick Studio to be built in the grounds of St James’s University Hospital in Leeds

如果说有必要证明良好的设计和建筑可以帮助治愈的话，那么英国各地由癌症慈善机构玛吉创立的缓解中心就是它了。该慈善机构已经建立了18个中心，已获准在其第19个地点进行规划-这是一个由Heatherwick Studio为利兹圣詹姆斯大学医院(St James‘s University Hospital)设计的田园诗中心。

此前，麦琪与领先的建筑实践机构-威尔金森·艾尔建筑师(Wilkinson Eyre Architect)、库林南工作室(Cullinan Studio)和OMA-合作，创建了一个欢迎、平静和令人振奋的建筑网络，这些建筑建在专门的NHS癌症医院内，患者、朋友和癌症患者的家属可以得到实际和情感上的支持。

新中心将于2017年开放，并将建在医院肿瘤科的旁边。该中心围绕着一系列由获奖景观设计师玛丽·路易丝·阿吉斯(Marie-Louise Agius)精心设计的花园，这些花园软化了周围医院建筑的僵化形式，并利用植物生命的治疗能力。

这座建筑本身的功能有点像一堆踏板的播种机，每一棵都有自己的伊甸园，从墙上溢出。“这座建筑将把花园的特色与共享的私人空间结合起来，”希瑟威克说。他巧妙地把中心的内部空间塞进了花园内部和周围。

Designed to be built next to the hospital's oncology unit, the centre is designed around a series of contained gardens – masterminded by the award-winning landscape designer Marie-Louise Agius of Balston Agius

Maggie's have already created a network of welcoming and uplifting buildings where patients, friends and the families of those affected by cancer can receive practical and emotional support

The centre hopes to soften the rigid formality of the surrounding hospital buildings and harness the therapeutic capabilities of plant life

The new centre is slated for opening in 2017
