The latest building he has shot is the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas. This building is built by none other than Frank Gehry. As you may know, part of Gehery's building is always in irregular shape and this one is no exception. In Matt's own words, there are three big sections in this building:
1. The metal facaded building which is an event space and patients are not treated in the space, nor do they really experience it except for the exterior. (I am loving the night shot of this building, is so surreal)

2. The second space is the breezeway between the event space and the medical building.

3. The medical building: the exterior looks like stacked blocks but the interior is orderly and functional for the purpose of medical treatment. (This building totally reminds me of legos)

Here are more information from Keep Memory Alive
"Designed by Frank Gehry, the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health’s facility is the perfect venue for accomplishing the organization’s two main goals:
• Preserving memory: With both administrative offices and medical research and clinical operations, Keep Memory Alive and its medical partner, the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, provide a full-service approach towards preserving memory.
• Creating memories: Housed under an undulating stainless steel canopy, illuminated by natural light from 199 windows, our event space or Life Activity Center is available for rental—a truly unique space in which to host a wedding, bar mitzvah, business meeting, and create memories for your friends, family, and colleagues
While Gehry’s design incites varied reactions from observers, the one consistent response is a desire to come inside its walls and learn more. In this respect, the building is an unwavering marketing tool, driving awareness to the work conducted by those inside."
