CloseLot Description

This is a fantastic opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind architectural model of the OMA-designed Maggie's Centre at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow. The model has been created by OMA and is signed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Rem Koolhaas. 

The 3D model, made from printed polymer and sitting on an oak wood base, is displayed in a 31 x 31 x 14 cm acrylic perspex showcase with a customised transport crate. Scale: 1:200.

Maggie's Glasgow Gartnavel is OMA's first completed work in the UK since the Serpentine Pavilion in 2006 and is located in the grounds of the Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow. The centre is a single-level building in the form of interlocking rooms surrounding an internal, landscaped courtyard. The centre opened in October 2011 and has earned OMA a nomination for a 2012 Design Award, "the Oscars of the design world," in the Architecture category.  

This fabulous model has been donated to Maggie's by OMA to help them raise funds for their unique programme of cancer support. Maggie's is an organisation that creates places providing the emotional, practical and social support that people with cancer need. The centres combine striking buildings, calming spaces, professional experts offering professional support, and the opportunity to talk and share experiences with a community of people who have been through similar experiences. Designed by industry-leading architects, Maggie's Centres are warm, friendly and informal places full of light and open space with a big kitchen at their heart. They provide a peaceful space to absorb the information you're inevitably bombarded with and help to relieve the stress of having cancer. www.maggiescentres.org

OMA is a leading international partnership practicing architecture, urbanism and cultural analysis. Through AMO, its research and design studio, the practice works in areas beyond architecture that today have an increasing influence on architecture itself: media, politics, renewable energy, technology, publishing and fashion. The work of OMA and Rem Koolhaas has received several awards, including the Pritzker Price for Architecture in 2000 and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale. www.oma.eu
