Louis Sullivan always adds extensive ornamentation to his building but not many people see more than just a manipulated geometric figure. The father of modernism was not just creating ornamentation that displays nature but he was creating an additional clue to finding the holy grail. But being an architect he got way too conceptual that no one caught on to the hidden secret. Guaranty Building displays the fifth science of geometry, best known as freemasonry. Through the expression of perfect circles and equilateral triangle, Sullivan begins to give us mapping clues to the holy grail. He chooses a different approach though, rather than pentagram, he uses a hexagram. This lost clue is currently being researched as being the answer to the new discovery.
