Howard Roark's friendship with Henry Cameron develops quickly, but Cameron's firm is slowly crumbling.Ī new architecture critic, Ellsworth Toohey, publishes a book praising Guy Francon and damning Henry Cameron. He works his way up through the ranks, becoming ever closer to Guy Francon. Peter Keating immediately takes to the competitive and underhanded world that architecture has become. Peter Stanton is the valedictorian of his class, and he turns down a scholarship to the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris to take up a lucrative position with Guy Francon, the darling of the design world. He goes to New York to seek a position with the recently eminent but now reviled modernist designer Henry Cameron. Howard Roark is expelled for his refusal to complete exercises in classical design. At the outset of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, Howard Roark and Peter Keating depart from the Stanton Institute of Technology in very different ways.
