The Los Angeles Times’ Christopher Hawthorne reviews Gehry's Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas. And if Hawthorne notes that Gehry’s tricks “have lost more than a little freshness over the years,” the building mostly gets a positive view, and has a “surprising emotional punch." The backstory may be most the interesting part: Vegas developers have long been wooing Gehry. And given his own architect experiences with the disease, Gehry told Ruvo "he'd design the building only if Ruvo added Huntington's to the list of diseases the new center would treat and study."
