assistant
The Fountainhead is the name of the building that the main character, Howard Roark, designs. The name comes from a passage in the book where Howard Roark describes his design philosophy: “The Fountainhead is the concept of a building as an expression of the creative integrity of the man who conceived it, the man who built it, and the man who uses it. It is the idea that the building is a symbol of the man himself, and that its creator is the custodian of his own soul.”
