Amazing building in Ohio - Vontz Center

Ohio has the honor of being the birthplace of many American presidents; thus the nickname Mother of Modern Presidents. The name Ohio stems from the Indian name of the river - Ohio meant beautiful river. Indeed this beautiful river paved the way for the great industrialization of the State in modern times.
Ohio is ranked amongst the 35 largest states in the United States. It is also the 7th according to its population number. The nickname of the state is "The Heart of It All" due to the heart shaped feature of the State in the map. With this, many prominent locations and top-ranking hotels can be found in this region.
Frank Gehry designed the Albert H. Vontz Center for Molecular Studies for the University of Cincinnati Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was completed in 1999.
Red brick gently slopes along Gehry's characteristic curves in this $46 million project. The bloated forms of the prefabricated masonry panels seem to defy the material's abilities. Swathes of windows punch through to illuminate the white inside.
