In order to create the original and beautiful architectural forms which made Gaudí famous, the architect solely employed traditional materials (brick, stone, glazed ceramic lime and quick-drying cement for mortar, plaster, etc.) and techniques, or their derivations. The author reviews these Gaudinian construction techniques, from the simple column to hyperbolic paraboloids, the square column, the false arch, festoon arches or catenary profiles, spiral arches. Catalan vaults (brick vault of one, two or more ceilings of brick laid flat), ribbed vaulting, cupolas, penditives, partition arches, etc.
