Hardwood CLT for Maggie’s Oldham MAGGIE’S CENTRE
What is thought to be the world’s first permanent building constructed entirely of hardwood cross-laminated timber (CLT) has opened in Oldham. Designed by dRMM Architects for cancer
charity Maggie’s, Maggie’s Oldham is made from American tulipwood, which is believed to be 70 per cent stronger in terms of bending than typical CLT-grade softwood. Described as a “pioneering piece of
permanent architecture,” the facility is built from more than 20 panels of cross- laminated tulipwood ranging from 0.5 metres to 12 metres in size. dRMM co-founder Professor Alex de
Rijke said: “From the Oldham project inception we knew it was the right material for Maggie’s, not only structurally and visually, but conceptually. An elevated, open plan, all-timber and glass building – with trees growing through it, and every detail considered from the perspective of use, health, and delight – was always going to be special.” According to the American Hardwood

SERPENTINE PAVILION Kéré’s timber canopy in Kensington
Award-winning Burkina Faso architect Diébédo Francis Kéré designed this year’s Serpentine Pavilion, with a bold timber structure that brought his “characteristic sense of light and life” to the lawns of Kensington Gardens, London. The architect, who leads Berlin-based
practice Kéré Architecture, is the 17th architect to accept the Serpentine Galleries’ invitation to design a tempo- rary Pavilion in its grounds as their first structure in London. Inspired by a tree in his home town of
Gando, Kéré’s Pavilion “seeks to connect its visitors to nature – and each other.” The roof, supported by a central steel framework, mimics a tree’s canopy,
allowing air to circulate freely while offering shelter against rain and heat. Kéré attended the first RIBA
International Week held on 3-7 July.
of logs) would be replaced in approximately two minutes because of its vast availability and underutilisation. Other architects who have designed
Maggie’s centres include Zaha Hadid, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster.
