The Experience:

'Visitors remove their shoes before entering an airlock. Once inside they can wander freely or just lay back and enjoy the ambience of the structure.  The radiance of the daylight transmitted by the coloured pvc of the luminarium is surprising in its luminosity and makes a direct impact on the senses.  Through labyrinthine tunnels and cavernous domes, visitors move in a medium of saturated and subtle hues. Vivid reflections of liquid colour spill across the curved walls creating a world apart from the normal and everyday.'

Arcazaar

 

Arcazaar was the first major outdoor event under the Land banner and for four days in the summer of 2004 over 10,000 visitors to Burnley's Towneley Park experienced this amazing construction by Architects of Air.  Arcazaar's spectacular domed sculpture, known as a luminarium, intrigued and delighted the visitors who came from near and far to experience this inflatable wonderland.  The event was an excellent opportunity to bring Land, Panopticons and the wider Regional Park programme to the attention of a large audience.
