Picture MUST credit: Foster + Partners The UK has unveiled what will become a lasting memorial to celebrate the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II. A competition for a suitable tribute has chosen a design by world renowned architecture firm Foster + Partners. Five finalist teams were asked to create amasterplan that would honour and celebrate Britain's longest serving monarch Queen Elizabeth's life of service and provide the public with aspace for reflection. Elizabeth was in the throne for 70 years and 214 days, Foster + Partners' winning design is said to balance tradition and modernity, public duty and private faith, the United Kingdom and aglobal Commonwealth. The design concept illustrates how she brought these dualities together: two gates, two gardens, joined by abridge and unifying path in London's St James's Park which is adjacent to Buckingham Palace. The design concept features figurative sculptures and anew Prince Philip Gate with a statue showing the Queen and her husband of 73 years together. It also features gardens to create spaces for reflection and coming together. Anew bridge over the park's lake will feature acast-glass balustrade inspired by the Queen's wedding tiara. This design concept will be subject to change as it undergoes refining, and later planning permission. The Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee's selection panel found Foster + Partners' design, balancing formal and informal elements, impressive and capable of creating an engaging landmark to endure for generations to come. The panel also said it valued the artistry, use of space, technical skills and their sensitivity to the memorial's location. The winning team includes artist Yinka Shonibare and celebrated landscape designer, Michel Desvigne. Picture supplied by JLPPA
