European form.

Final thoughts
Every person is different. Just like in architecture, peoples views are different. While some people, like Sullivan, find inspiration in nature. Some find inspiration in virtues of the psyche. Every architect is different, but have one thing in common. They all try to accomplish feats that are amazing.
