The Guardian's Rowan Moore questions the role of the star architect in the design of "serious" projects like UK's Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres.
The Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres put the seriousness of architecture to the test. They are notable for two things: offering ways of helping cancer sufferers beyond medical treatment, and doing so in places designed by leading contemporary architects. They assume that there is some connection between whatever aesthetic magic an architect can weave, and making victims of a dread disease feel better.
