This model illustrates an anticlastic shell comprising a single straight-edged hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) surface. Such designs are notable for their distinctive saddle shape that curves in opposing directions. Hypar structures are often used in architecture for their aesthetic appeal and structural efficiency. The model focuses on the geometric and mechanical properties of a single hypar surface.
