In this cite it talks about how buildings are made of shapes and how geometry is the basic building blocks of architecture and nature. An example of this would be the pyramids in Egypt or something more modern like new World Trade Center tower.These buildings are all made appealing using different shapes. The shapes in all of these building are one of the ways geometry relates to architecture.

This time the site goes deeper into the geometrical shapes in drawings. If you think of a castle, you can see the shapes.

This drawing was on the website, and here you can see the pyramids, cylinders, cones and prisms. To master the architectural part of drawing, its easy to just remember how to draw these geometrical shapes. This is because usually you can just combine the 3-D shapes to make a building like how this castle was built.
