Lincoln Luminarium organised by LPAC (Lincoln Performing Arts Centre) and located outside the Main Administrivia building of the University of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A luminarium is a massive inflated sculpture people can walk through inside it is a maze of winding paths and soaring domes. Founder, designer and artistic director of Architects of Air, Alan Parkinson, has been designing and making these luminariums for the past 25 years.
Since 1992 more than 3 million visitors in over 40 countries across 5 continents have been welcomed into Architects of Air’s monumental luminaria, immersed in radiant colour that comes simply from daylight shining through the luminarium’s fabric.
The luminarium visiting Lincoln is called Miracoco and is one of seven which tour the world, the others are named Albesila, Katena, Arboria, Pentalum, Mirazozo and Amococo. All luminaria are of a similar large scale (1000m2 /10,000ft2) and are modular to adapt to different sites.
The luminaria have been seen in a great variety of contexts: at festivals of music, theatre, science & dance, at arts centres & museums, at community, corporate & school events, architecture & design related events, etc. The luminaria is also presented as a stand-alone event e.g. as part of a civic summer programme.
