This year's prestigious Stirling Prize was awarded to Maggie's Centre designed by the architectural firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. The award for the building, which was the most significant contribution to the British architectural scene over the past year, was presented on Saturday, October 17.
The jury appreciated the way Richard Rogers' team dealt with the assignment: to create a refuge for people suffering from cancer. The result is a quiet building with a pleasant homely atmosphere that helps patients cope with their illness.
