Maggies Centre photos
Frank Gehry's reinterpretation of a Scottish Broch: signature architecture of shiny surfaces on 'vernacular' base. Frank Gehry was selected to design Dundee Maggies Centre by friend Charles Jencks and his late wife, Maggie Keswick-Jencks - who died of cancer and set about creating civilised buildings for people learning to cope with cancer.
