Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Medical research center in Las Vegas, United States.
The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health features stainless steel facades with irregular angles and reflective surfaces across its five-floor structure.
Las Vegas entrepreneur Larry Ruvo established the center in 2009 after his father passed away from complications related to Alzheimer's disease.
The building represents Frank Gehry's interpretation of healthcare architecture, combining abstract forms with spaces dedicated to medical treatment and research.
The facility provides specialized care for neurological disorders while conducting clinical trials and offering educational programs about brain health.
The center's steel-clad event space connects to the main clinical building through a latticework courtyard, creating distinct areas for different functions.

Frank Gehry designs buildings with curved metal facades, irregular forms and experimental construction methods. His work defines urban spaces from Bilbao to Los Angeles. The exterior surfaces use titanium, steel or glass formed into wave-like or folded volumes. The interior spaces accommodate art collections, concert halls and commercial offices. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao displays titanium panels that reflect the light of the Basque coast. The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles combines stainless steel surfaces with wooden acoustics for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein demonstrates his early approaches with white stucco surfaces and angled walls. The buildings emerge through computer-aided design that translates complex geometries into buildable structures.
