Take an average 1970s hospital in an average provincial British city: big, concrete, sprawling, impersonal, set on the edge of town. Then ask one of the world's leading architects to add a tiny new building to the complex. Will anyone notice?

It happens that Gehry's first British building is a little cancer support centre at a hospital in Dundee.
