Architect Frank Gehry has built a swirling stainless steel structure in Las Vegas. Mr Gehry, now 81, has built his career on shapes and angles all around the world: Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles; the Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago’s Millennium Park; Seattle’s Experience Music Project; the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Mr Gehry said he liked the challenge of designing a building on a corner of a big 61-acre (25-hectare) former railroad yard west of downtown Las Vegas. Work began in February of 2007. From the front, the building resembles aluminum foil draped over a stack of white building blocks. The windows in the skin are set at every angle. The four-story inner block was completed first. It opened in October 2008, housing Cleveland Clinic offices. Patients began arriving in July 2009, through a traditional-looking cement courtyard and standard glass doors. A non-profit organization called Keep Memory Alive supports research and treatment. Mr Gehry’s showpiece reception area is due to open in May 2010.
