Several architects occur in worldwide mythology, including Daedalus, builder of the Labyrinth, in Greek myth.
Examples include Howard Roark, protagonist in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead; Bloody Stupid Johnson, a parody of Capability Brown who appears in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels; and Slartibartfast, designer of planets in Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The main characters of Sa'ad, Shiymaa and Sa'im are all architects, as are a number of others who appear throughout the book.
In television, Mike Brady, father of The Brady Bunch, is an architect; as is Wilbur Post, owner of Mister Ed; Ted Mosby, from How I Met Your Mother, Marshall Darling from Clarissa Explains It All; and David Vincent from The Invaders.
Adam Cartwright of Bonanza was an architectural engineer with a university education who designed the sprawling familial ranch-house on the Ponderosa Ranch.
