"The title of first pioneer of the HP hyperbolic paraboloid or hypar construction] in concrete in the 1930s belongs to Fernand Aimond for the projects that he constructed.., for the formulation of the theoretical structural membrane model, and for his influence both on [Giorgio] Baroni in Italy in the late 1930s and on Candela in Mexico in the 1950s."
