Maggie's Sigmoid Curve

This blip shows part of a water sculpture inspired by the Sigmoid Curve. It's located at Maggie's Centre near to Cheltenham General Hospital. The centre provides emotional, practical and social support to people with cancer and their families and friends.

Opened a few years ago the building's design has won several architectural awards. Also, the garden has been professionally designed and is described as having created 'a metaphorical landscape of hope designed to calm, soothe and inspire with the empowering beauty of nature'.

With the knowledge that stimulating landscapes creates a healing environment, the design of Maggie's Centre is inspired by the mathematically-derived sigmoid curve, a tilted S-shape motif, which is a visual metaphor for life and living, aspects so relevant to the centre's mission.
