Few new healthcare buildings have ever attracted the attention lavished in recent weeks upon the new Maggie's Centre in Dundee. Frank Gehry's small but dramatic building with its curving walls and concertina roof might be a modest support centre for cancer sufferers and their families, but it is inviting plenty of comparisons with his most famous work, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Over the next decade some of the world's most eminent architects, including Richard Rogers, Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind, who won the competition to replace the World Trade Center in New York, will design purpose-built centres like Gehry's. Later this month, the first ever Maggie's Exhibition at the Lighthouse, Glasgow, will explain the charity's design philosophy.
