No matter what city I live in, I can’t seem to get away from Frank Gehry’s architecture. In Cambridge, I lived less than a mile away from Gehry’s Stata Center on the MIT Campus. Now here in Las Vegas, Gehry recently unveiled his design for the Lou Ruvo Alzheimer’s Center, to be built in the downtown area.

Reactions to the design have been mixed – business as usual for a Gehry building. But a letter in today’s Review-Journal asks: Will Gehry’s amorphous design confuse the very Alzheimer’s patients it’s meant to help? My inclination is to say no – I have the feeling that the building is quite navigable from the inside, based on my experiences exploring the Stata Center. Still, not a terrible point, no?
