From maverick visionaries to emotionally tortured souls and budget-oblivious builders, such is the role of the on-screen architect.
Portrayed as “an architect of genius in a world of spineless mediocrity,” idealist Howard Roark (Gary Cooper) takes on the architectural establishment in The Fountainhead (8:00 PM). Based loosely on Frank Lloyd Wright, Ayn Rand’s best-selling novel-turned-film chronicles the struggles of the lone champion of modern architecture in pre-war Manhattan.
