Visitors first enter the Science Court, where they will see the "Hypar," a computer-directed, expanding hyperbolic paraboloid. Invented by Chuck Hoberman of New York, the Hypar is a hanging kinetic structure that expands from 15 feet to 50 feet.

If you are in San Francisco, traveling down Geary Boulevard, you will likely drive through a part of town referred to as “Cathedral Hill.” Unsurprisingly, the reason for this name is that there is a very large cathedral and it is in a hilly part of town. Specifically, this is Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. This Catholic church is well known for its modern architectural design. This huge building is a square shape at the base and the roof curves into a plus-sign-shaped cross at the top which has stained glass all along the edge of the cross. The way that the roof slopes is a word used in geometry called a hyperbolic paraboloid. I’ve gone and photographed this building on a number of occasions because I find the architecture fascinating. Here’s a shot of the front of the cathedral. I actually posted a similar photograph sometime last year, but I really like this perspective and the symmetry.

andersonandersonarchitecture: @oblio : are you able to come to Berkeley for studio review tomorrow?
oblio: Unfortunalty no :(!!!!!!!! So wish I could.
tierneytoo: I'll come! I just need a ticket to fly out!
The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, here in San Francisco, on Cathedral Hill, is a truly unique piece of architecture. It forms a cross at the top and slopes in hyperbolic paraboloid shaped sides to its base, which is a square. The interior follows the same shape so it’s interesting to see from the inside, too.
This angular building is the Blasewitz Ruderzentrum, or Rowing Centre. The roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid. It was built from 1970 to 1972 to a design by Walter Neuhäusser.
My apologies for not posting as frequently as I usually do. I have been quite busy with work and planning some travel. Here is an interior shot of the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. As you can tell, the interior ceiling follows the roofline, so it also follows hyperbolic paraboloid shapes. The exterior of the building is dramatic, but I think the interior is even more dramatic.
