The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas is a stunning building designed by Frank Gehry. To photographers like me the bended metallic shape is a welcome eyecatcher, but there has been harsh critique as well.
From Wikipedia: On his blog, New Urbanist and architecture critic James Howard Kunstler named the Lou Ruvo center his “Eyesore Of The Month” for April 2010. Kunstler sharply criticized the Center’s design, writing: “It seems to say: This is your brain on Frank Gehry”. Kunstler suggested that the architecture was inappropriate for the building’s purpose: “If I had a problem with my brain, I would not be reassured arriving at this place. The implicit sadism is impressive”.
I had my photographs taken during the construction period in spring 2010 when the place still was a construction site.
