The term is used because the form resembles the shape of a saddle. Sometimes referred to as a hypar, the saddle roof may also be formed as a tensegrity structure.Mathematically, a saddle shape contains at least one saddle point. The historical meaning is a synonym for a gable roof particularly a dual-pitched roof on a tower, also called a pack-saddle roof.
