Frank Gehry, he of Guggenheim / Bilbao fame, is at it again. This time its the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute in Las Vegas. Like many of the famous architect’s recent buildings, the LRBI is decidedly not rectilinear, and could be described as naif and primitive, but not in a bad way.
The Lou Ruvo Brain Institute is intended to treat those with Alzheimer, Huntington, Parkinson and ALS diseases – while the architect himself describes the building as comforting, others suggest that patients with those afflictions might find the unusual shapes to be disorienting.

This is a worth cause and hopfully this new structure can bring a fantastic icon of the Las Vegas skyline. FRANK GEHRY is the Gaudi of our time and has contributed to the advancement of the architectual landscape forever!

This is a beautiful design. I hope the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute has many years of success.
This building does bring to mind the human brain, just as the Walt Disney Concert Hall brings to mind music.
