Frank FUGLY Gehry

Anyone who has dealt with those with debilitating brain disease such as Alzheimer’s knows that disorientation is a major problem in their daily lives. Doors not open, furniture rearranged and other changes can make their lives a living hell.

To deal specifically with those patients the Cleveland Clinic and starchitect Frank Gehry are giving us this joke.

“The Lou Ruvo Brain Institute and Cleveland Clinic create a powerhouse in the world of neurological medicine,” said Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman. “Together, they have what it takes to perform this groundbreaking work that is significant to our state, our city and most importantly, those who suffer with debilitating brain diseases. Without our downtown redevelopment efforts, none of this would be possible. We are thrilled and honored to welcome Cleveland Clinic to Las Vegas and Union Park.”

Doing Dali is not architecture. It is bad imitation lacking any context. This building go beyond that.

It insults and ridicules those suffering.
