As the ’starchitect’ behind hugely famous, titanium-clad behemoths such as Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum and LA’s Walt Disney Concert Hall – 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, Las Vegas’ 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.
