The hospital is currently the only one in the South West using the hi-tech mask with radiation treatment known as volumetrically modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
But the quality that ties all of Stirling's work together is something that only the greatest architects possess: the unique ability to think volumetrically, to conceptualize and visualize all of a building's components and relationships simultaneously in all three dimensions, reorganizing and reinventing those relationships to create brilliant spatial progressions and shifts in perception and experience that elude more ordinary talents.
