Geometric elements are the basis of various forms of creating architecture at present - parametric modeling, the use of BIM, adaptable architecture. The basis for all of them are simple constructions by a combination of lines and circles, which also have their roots in Gothic motifs and geometric constructions. The article deals with the geometric procedures of creating one of the motifs - quatrefoil and examples of its application in the Gothic architecture of Slovakia. The quatrefoil is created by an additive combination of 4 circular or oval shapes, centrally symmetrical, visually attractive, contains symbolic, religious connotations. It occurs as a mass - floor plan, cross-section of architectural elements - and as a negative space - openings.
