Ted's Talk at the RIBA North East
On Thursday night Ted Cullinan gave a talk to the RIBA North East on his design for the new Maggie’s Centre in Newcastle. He used his trademark style of drawing as he talked to demonstrate ideas and referenced previous projects to explain the scheme.
Ted started by looking at the landscape work of Maggie Keswick Jencks herself before describing the location and approach to the Maggie’s Centre at the Freeman Hospital, drawing in reference to the settings of Fountains Abbey Visitor Centre and Archaeolink.
He then drew the layout in greater detail, emphasising the key connection between the building and its surrounding courtyard landscape and roof garden. Ted showed how this had been achieved at the John Hope Gateway at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. The Law House, Ready Mixed Concrete offices roof garden, Centre for Mathematical Sciences and his own house in Camden Mews were shown to demonstrate how accessible roof gardens can be used.
The Maggie’s Centre is due on site in the next few months. We would like to say thanks to the RIBA NE Young Persons Forum for organising the event and for their fundraising towards the Maggie’s Centre.
