The 81 year old Canadian-American, Frank Gehry and his practice – Gehry Partners, LLP – rarely shy from delivering truly awe-inspiring buildings, that become instant icons. Their latest offering is the 870 feet tall which is now the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere. Frank Gehry created one of the most breathtakingly original skyscrapers that you may see for some years, if not decades. The elegantly waved, stainless-steel façade looks at times a delicate veil, rippling in the wind, whilst at others a distorted Gotham-esque, surrealist’s wet-dream, as the tower’s unique twists and turns reflect the changing light of the day.
The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, is no different – as we see in this beautiful set of images from Washington D.C. born photographer, Matthew Carbone. Unmistakably Gehry, the centre is quite literally a vision of twisted genius, with it’s warped façade carried through into a fantastically distorted interior, this is an icon for Vegas that is truly like no other…..
