There are two badly decaying structures in Matt Tauber's "The
Architect," and they may collapse at about the same moment.
One is Eden Court, a low-income South Side Chicago housing project, the
other is the family of the architect who designed the first and heads
the second.
The symbolism of the movie, which Tauber adapted from a Glasgow-set play
by David Greig, may lack subtlety, but its issues and performances give
it a firm foundation.
The always-fine Anthony LaPaglia plays Leo Waters, a seemingly
well-grounded architect and college professor who is taken aback when a
resident (Viola Davis) of Eden Court shows up in his classroom and asks
him to join her in demanding the razing of the project.
