Lou Ruvo Center by Frank Gehry

Do not mistake this for just an art installation, for it is as much an art as it is a real building. You might have seen the Dancing House. Well this structure too, comprising of tricky curves and undulations, effortlessly makes a similar statement. Located in Las Vegas, this is the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health which has been designed by architect Frank Gehry. The above picture shows just one part of the clinic which is situated at the southern end of the plot.

The northern part of the $100 million clinic, unlike the other portion, is more stable to look at [picture below] and houses the research center, medical office and patient rooms. It is speculated that such contradicting structures for a single clinic could be reflecting  comparisons between a healthy mind and a deteriorating one. The Lou Ruvo Center research facility operated by Cleveland Clinic, opened its doors last month.
