Luminarium at Nottingham Lakeside Arts Centre

As part of Nottingham University’s Lakeside Arts Centre’s children’s festival (brilliantly called Wheee!), the Architects of Air returned with another luminarium. A luminarium is a large inflatable structure, made up of different coloured chambers that are lit by the sun.

It’s a strange environment and makes for a great location for a photographer – the shapes and colours are fantastic.

The Luminarium looks suspiciously like the Colourscape tents we danced in for a project in south London in the late 70s. No problem there. It’s great to see them again as the atmosphere created was really enjoyable and an aid to creative development.

(I have photos to prove it!)
