Frei Otto designed these transformable umbrella-like shelters for the 1971 Bundesgartenschau (Federal Garden Show) in Cologne, where they were installed in the Tanzbrunnen area of Deutz. Built that same year, the Terrassenschirme exemplify Otto's pioneering approach to tensile and lightweight structures, creating flexible, demountable forms suited to temporary garden exhibition architecture.
