Building with hyperbolic lattice structures
Hyperbolic lattice structures were very seldom built after Shukhov's death in 1939. A few structures have been designed or built in the intervening 70 years that made reference to Shukhov's invention in terms of form. The most famous are the water tower feasibility study by the Spanish engineer Eduardo Torroja and the unbuilt skyscraper for mid‐town Manhattan designed in 1954 by Ieoh Ming Pei. In addition, several high‐rises have emerged with load‐bearing systems based on hyperbolic lattice structures. Modern examples in Ghuangzhou, which is the highest television tower in the world at 610 m, and in Doha show the endless fascination of these structures.
