A cancer treatment center inspired from cell division designed with carcinogenic building materials.
Who will get lucky and win all the chips?
Who will lose?
We spend so much money researching CURES for cancer.
We spend so much money developing products and materials that CAUSE cancer.
Why don’t we spend time PREVENTING cancer?
The materials we are creating is turning around and harming us in many ways.
Studies show we eat up to one credit card per day of harmful microplastics from: teabags, and our food.
We do not know the repercussions of consumption.
Our precedent study, the Inverness Maggie’s Center, and many others all around the world are impacting the rate in which individuals obtain cancer. In a center designed to take CARE of cancer, it is built upon the very materials that cause it.
Maggie’s Center Construction Materials -- The wall panels -- a basic sandwich construction of timber stud with OSB boarding ( contains resin with formaldehyde ) to both faces fully filled with insulation ( Polybrominated diphenyl ethers) were largely pre-fabricated prior to delivery to site, and are connected at floor and roof level with continuous spliced laminated plywood chords( contains resin with formaldehyde ). Internally, the spiralling monocoque wall and roof shell form is clad with solid birch plywood, fully bonded to the OSB internal skin and finished with clear fire retardant lacquer Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) ( extremely carcinogenic especially in the dust). Externally, the equivalent plywood cladding is finished with translucent wood stain to match the timber. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)
