Although this building would catch anyones eye naturally, because of its abnormal features and structure. This building was designed by the world renowned architect Frank Gehry. This  funky looking building was very impactful to me when I first saw it. The reason for it being so impactful to me has little to do with the architecture of the actual building and more so with the story with this building.

This building was created to help fight against brain disease. The Cleveland Clinic is operating out of this building to help cure Alzheimers. This is particularly meaningful to me because i personally am impacted by this specific disease. Alzheimer’s runs in my family and my grandma has essentially lost her capability to think like an adult because of the disease. So, to see a cool different building like this one and to associate it with such a horrible thing like brain disease, makes me feel very good about what this building represents.
