On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I noted this Frank Gehry designed building under construction. In looking up the project to learn more about it, I was surprised to find that it was to be a education, research and treatment center for patients suffering from Alzheimers. The article I referenced explained that the building was designed to be sensitive to the patient’s needs ….because it was entered from the more conventional appearing left side of the  structure….Really.

I’m not sure I like what it says about our profession when buildings need to be shielded from their occupant’s view in order to protect their mental health.
