The triangle is the strongest geometric shape, but it's two-dimensional. Applying the idea (via cross bracing or the like) to construction is something that has been done for centuries.

This is a simplified answer as the question is very general, but the application of a triangle or an angular tie to strengthen vertical elements and add rigidity to a structure is something that can be seen frequently.djsfjegythgeydgtryeg

The strongest shape known is the circle, but you wouldn't find that in buildings. The second strongest shape is an equilateral triangle which is used in buildings and bridges. Squares and rectangles are also commonly used
