Hyperbolic Paraboloid

A project based on the design and construction of a concrete hyperbolic paraboloid sculpture.

A hyperbolic paraboloid, characterized by its high degree of curvature and rapid curve alteration, is cast out of concrete.


Reinforced by chicken wire, this two inch thick structure was created using a formwork made of layers of stacked foamcore and plywood held by metal screws.
