Neurology clinic in Las Vegas by Frank Gehry
Photographer Matthew Carbone has sent us his photographs of the new neurology centre in Las Vegas, designed by Frank Gehry.
The centre is divided into three distinct spaces. Beneath its stainless steel skin, 199 windows light the interior and the research into memory-related diseases.
The first volume is devoted to patient care and research. The building adopts simple forms and is intended to be functional. From the outside, it looks like a neat stack of boxes.
The second space is a covered walkway between the medical building and a stainless steel profile that houses the events space.
The covered walkway provides a shaded spot to sit and enjoy the fine weather while avoiding direct sunlight. There is also a small café.
The events space is the part of the project that has received the most attention. It is also the hardest to understand.
Patients are not treated in this space and never interact with it, other than through the façade. It is quite simply an events venue, designed to host all kinds of gatherings and functions.
The proceeds from these events go towards an additional support fund. The interior is fitted with standard LED lighting. The lighting makes the space dramatic, both from inside and from outside.
