TEN YEARS AGO Alford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) nearly won a Stirling Prize for its Kentish Town Health Centre in London - at the time, an unheard of accolade for an NHS-funded healthcare facility. But apart from it being a very fine, contemporary building, one of the things that struck me most forcibly from my visit to it, back in the day, was the presence of huge, colourful letters, imagery and symbols on the walls. At the time - and to this day -these over-scaled graphics seemed one of the most joyful, accessible and playful things I had ever seen in a public-health building. The artist who made that work, Morag Myerscough, has subsequently left her rainbow-hued marks in a wide array of places - from an arts centre in Tottenham to a whole pavilion on the South Bank, and most recently a giant stretch of wall in the new Design Museum in Kensington, bringing a burst of warmth and welcome to its otherwise stately, almost corporate interior.
