    • The AIA Academy of Architecture for Health's Research Initiatives Committee has just downloaded another new "bench-marking" case study.   This 2018 AIA/AAH Healthcare Design Award winning project is the Maggie's Centre - Barts located in London, England by Steven Holl Architects .  This project is a very interesting because of its contextual response as well as its innovative healing environmental response in a very tight urban and historically significant site.  We have added the introductory 2-page spread to peal your interest.  Go to the Library to see the rest of this Case Study.

      You may also want to visit the Vimeo video link we included form Steven Holl Architects website in the Case Study where he explains the conceptual narrative of the building.
