LUMINARIUM: Arborialis
Step inside Luminarium, a spectacular walk-through installation that fills Woolwich Works with light, colour, and calm.
Created by the world-renowned Architects of Air, this monumental inflatable structure invites visitors to slow down and explore at their own pace. Inside, winding pathways and soaring domes glow with radiant colour as daylight filters through the translucent fabric, creating an ever-changing, immersive experience.
Luminarium is designed to be gentle, inclusive, and open to everyone. There’s no right route and no rush — just space to wander, look, and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or taking a quiet moment for yourself, Luminarium offers a rare chance to experience art from the inside out.
Suitable for all ages. A truly memorable experience for curious minds and calm seekers alike.
Arborialis, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the theme of ‘trees’. Trees can be seen in structural forms and in graphic representation. Arborialis echos aspects of being lost in a forest – there are radiant canopies of leaves that stretch overhead, there are vibrant tree trunks rising from the ground beneath. The Main Dome frames the leaf motif in a magnificent cupola that references the form of the Islamic mosque domes that are one of Alan Parkinson’s primary sources of inspiration. The visual world of Arborialis is enhanced by the natural and spiritual sounds of the Song of Danu created by Irish composer Dr Michael Morris
