Sometimes there's architecture IN a film, and sometimes architecture is LIKE a film. But sometimes the architecture IS the film: When it rises above just being a thing to see, and becomes a MECHANISM for a WAY of SEEING, that is the Architecture OF Film

Architecture of "The Fountainhead" [1949]
Edward Carrere, scenic designer for Paramount Studios.
Great post...! Absolutly interesting. Just a question: Who was the designer or autor of the "Howard Roark's building"... I'mean,the ideal model in the film? It was an amazing and minimalistic bright hibrid betwen Mies and Corbu aesthetics ideas. The best of Modern Architecture's icon in my opinion.
