Description
Architects of Air’s 32nd Luminarium creation carries a theme of ‘light from above’. Covering an area of 900 square metres Myriad offers an intricate labyrinth of tunnels and domes. The outward aspect will have a unifying aesthetic of finials - the onion-like forms that surmount the dome-tops.
The finials are made of translucent material in order to cast light and colour into the dome below. The dome is completely opaque, and the upper half below the finial is constructed using a seam pattern of intersecting spirals. Where the spirals intersect will be found radiant points of light – the Myriad of stars.
