Still very euro-centric. You might look at traditional oriental
architecture, both permanent and temporary (pagoda, yurt, etc). There
are a lot of sweeping curves and arches, and they are much more organic
looking to me than the euro-roman arches. (I'm a docent at the chinese
garden here in Portland, OR so I look at the architecture a lot.)
