Make it New?

Today while perusing the online edition of the Toronto Star, I came across this article. In it there is a discussion of the modern world and architectural ideas. How avant-garde are we when we reference a prolific author such as Ayn Rand?

~The notion of the designer as god-like creator reached a peak with Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. That's the novel in which architect Howard Roark blows up his own building rather than see it compromised.

This is just one of those articles that demonstrates that everything comes around full circle. In case anyone is interested, here is the Ayn Rand Institute link for further exploration. My personal favourites are: Anthem, We The Living, The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, Philosophy: Who Needs It?, and The Virtue of Selfishness, just to name a few.
