UK - Nottingham - Exxopolis Luminarium - The Tree 01
We'd travelled nearly two hours to Nottingham to see the 'world premiere' of the Exxopolis Luminarium so we made sure we were first in the queue. For the first 10 minutes or so we had the place almost to ourselves other than the occasional member of staff, one of whom I've included here to give some sense of scale.
Published in the 23rd August, 2014 Amateur Photographer Magazine as their online photo of the week.

From the Architects of Air website : "22 years ago EGGOPOLIS luminarium was built in Nottingham with help from volunteers and the Community Service workers from the Probation Service. Eggopolis toured the UK together with learning disabled performers from Springwood Day Centre and became a feature of Nottingham playschemes before becoming the first structure toured by Architects of Air. It laid the foundation for a success that has seen the Architects of Air luminaria visited by over 2 million people in 38 countries around the world.
This year, in celebration of its 20th anniversary, Architects of Air is creating its 20th luminarium entitled ‘EXXOPOLIS’. EXXOPOLIS takes its inspiration from natural geometry and Islamic architecture. The principal dome – the CUPOLA - was inspired by the circular space of the Chapter House of Southwell Minster."
