Architects of Air Amococo Luminarium at Sheffield Cathedral

IMGP2077

"A luminarium is a sculpture people enter to be moved to a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and colour.

A luminarium has great appeal for everyone. Appreciated by all ages, all cultures, all abilities including the elderly and wheelchair uses. A luminarium is the most inclusive offering.

Amococo is more than just an walk in art installation, it is a paradox that such a stimulating environment can simultaneously be so calming and comforting. Many people find the luminarium a place for rest or meditation.

Each luminarium is a dazzling maze of winding paths and soaring domes where Islamic architecture, Archimedean solids and Gothic cathedrals meld into inspiring monument to the beauty of light and colour.

Architects of Air is an internationally renowned inflatable walk in art installation, manufactured from translucent PVC, the Luminarium, Amococo.

The structure transforms natural light into a kaleidoscope of liquid light and colour spilling across labyrinthine pathways, cavernous domes and curved walls. The initial reaction is often one of wonder and delight at the unexpected beauty created ,often described as walking through a stained glass window.

No two visits to a structure are alike, as the atmosphere inside alters according to changing weather and changing light outside. The experience is also affected by how the public inhabits the Luminarium."
