But Prix has arranged them into hyperbolic paraboloids, which looks as complex as it sounds :

Surfaces that are so audaciously skewed into themselves that one might think the tower would start to stagger, tumble, crash.

Doch Prix hat sie zu hyperbolischen Paraboloiden angeordnet, und das sieht so komplex aus, wie es klingt :

Flächen, die so verwegen in sich gekrümmt sind, dass man meint, der Turm gerate ins Taumeln, wanke, stürze.
