The Hypar Gate covers a free area of 22 square meters thanks to the cantilever morphology of the shell. The hypar is a well known ruled surface, that has been used in the last decades for many structural applications related to reinforced concrete shells. Focusing on the hypar morphological properties, an aspect of considerable importance in terms of structural analysis and fabrication is that it can be easily described in an analytic way as a parametric surface.
