Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres are quietly extraordinary spaces, inspired by a belief in the healing powers of architecture. It was while suffering from advanced cancer that Maggie Keswick Jencks conceived the idea of a beautifully designed space offering support to those affected by the disease and, following her death in 1995, the first centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996. There are now 17 centres around the UK. In September 2011 Timothy Hyman was asked to be artist in residence at the Maggie's Centre at the Charing Cross Hospital in London, and this book records his drawings, paintings and reflections.
