Medieval architects created intricate designs using simple materials by relying on basic geometric shapes and proportions. They used mathematical principles to create complex shapes and patterns using standard building materials such as stone, brick, and timber. They also used intricate carving and decorative techniques to enhance the beauty of their designs. The use of repeating patterns and symmetry was common, and often incorporated religious and symbolic motifs. The resulting designs were visually impressive and durable, designed to last for centuries.
