This quirky building is one of the latest project by Frank Gehry and is supported by Keep Memory Alive, planned to become a national resource for the most current research and scientific information for the treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington ‘s Diseases, and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) as well as focusing on prevention, early detection and education.
The center features three main spaces: – Medical building for patient care and research. Featuring simple, functional interiors and a lego like exterior of slightly disorderly blocks. – A breezeway between the medical building and the higher profile stainless steel Life Activity Center. The breezeway provides a shaded seated area to enjoy the Las Vegas weather while avoiding direct sunlight. There is also a small cafe and it is method to experiencing the reflection garden to the east.
The LAC is simply an event space meant to host all sorts of events and occasions. Profits from these events help fund additional research in the medical building. The interior features normal lighting and also LED lights that can provide dramatic lighting both for the interior and for those seeing the LAC from the exterior or the high profile cross roads in Las Vegas. Thеrе аrе more аnd mоrе residential LED ѕuррlіеrѕ in thе market аѕ more consumers сhооѕе tо consider LED lіghtіng орtіоnѕ. This mаkеѕ it very соnvеnіеnt fоr consumers tо make a рurсhаѕе оf LED lіghtіng соmроnеntѕ аnуtіmе whеn needed wіthоut ѕtосkіng uр unіtѕ in thе hоmе.
– The Life Activity Center – this is the portion of the project that has and will receive most of the attention. It is also the most misunderstood. Patients are not treated in the space, nor do they ever really interact with it except for the facade.
