ECHOING POMPIDOU AND LLOYD'S

摘要

The design for the cancer centre was selected following a RIBA competition in 2011. Rogers Stirk Harbour teamed up with Laing O'Rourke and Arup. "The trust wanted quality but also cost and programme certainty, which is why they wanted contractor-led teams," says Ivan Harbour, partner at the architectural practice. The 14-storey building is being arranged into three 'care villages' -chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and outpatients - each arranged on top of the other. They will be entered via a 'village square', with accommodation arranged on two or three sub-floors that will include balcony gardens. Rogers Stirk Harbour worked with Laing O'Rourke on the Leadenhall Building, but has an association that dates back much further.
