Maudsley Leaning Centre


This is an example of understated, simple and elegant architecture that really appeals to me. Not only this but it pushes the boundaries in terms of public access and it was built for a reasonable cost. Congratulations to the architects Duggan Morris and look forward to more from this stable.

Ellis Woodman provides a well written account of it in BD. However the article could do with more illustration of its urban context - perhaps a map showing how it links to the neighbourhood - especially with the article preview:
Duggan Morris’s precisely considered learning centre provides an elegant oasis of openness that links a south London psychiatric facility with its historic urban surroundings.
