Architects of Air

Nottingham UK's Architects of Air (AoA) create 'luminaria,' walk-in sculptures which they alluringly define as "dazzling mazes of winding paths and soaring domes where Islamic architecture, Archimedean solids and Gothic cathedrals meld into an inspiring monument to the beauty of light and colour." These technicolor sanctuaries have toured 37 countries on 5 continents in 500 exhibitions since 1992. Their latest luminarium Miracoco can currently be seen in Lisbon, Portugal. Unfortunately the tour indicates no planned U.S. dates, but see their extensive flickr gallery here.
