Inspired by geometry and nature in their pure form as well as Islamic and modern architectural innovators like Buckminster Fuller and Frei Otto. The space is composed of specially engineered PVC plastic, made to create winding paths and meandering tunnels.
The luminarium is made up of 20 pieces that are zipped together on site. The pieces are made up of four different colors that transmit daylight through to create vivid reflections of color, creating a space that is truly wondrous.
