1. MASSIVE

   • The earliest man-made constructions were very heavy and massive.

2. VAULTED

   • They are the structures formed by arches, vaults and domes.

3. FRAME

   • Pillars: Strong elements placed in a vertical position that support the weight of the elements that rest on them.
   • Beams: Elements normally placed in a horizontal position that support the load of the structure and transmit it to the pillars.

4. TRIANGULATED

   • They are usually made up of metal or wooden bars.

5. SUSPENDED

   • They are based on the use of cables from which the structure hangs.

6. PNEUMATIC

   • Pneumatic structures are removable and light.

7. LAMINATED

   • They are made of thin sheets of metal, plastic or composite materials such as reinforced concrete.

8. GEODESIC

   • They are three-dimensional structures made up of bars, that combine the properties of vaults with those of triangulated structures.
