Awning in Palma de Mallorca

A small outdoor theatre in an open space in the former moat beneath the cathedral has been covered with a protective awning. This coloured sunshade is made up of three triangular sections, each with a system of cross-wires spanned between peripheral cables. The lozenge-shaped openings thus formed are filled with pieces of polyester fabric held in position by spiral spring clips. The covering is fixed by means of cables to three steel plates anchored to the city walls and to two hinged masts held in position by cable stays.
