"The translucent glass unity bridge, inspired by Elizabeth's wedding tiara, symbolizes her as a unifying force in the national memorial planned for St James's Park."
"The design will not only include the new bridge but also a statue of the late queen and a Prince Philip gate, enhancing the park's landscape."
The national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II in St James's Park includes a bridge designed by Norman Foster, symbolizing unity and inspired by the Queen's wedding tiara. Alongside this translucent glass structure will be a statue of the Queen, a Prince Philip gate, and a family of gardens connected by meandering paths, all aimed at celebrating the Queen's legacy. Foster emphasizes the balance between historical tradition and modern design in this tribute, creating a space that resonates with both formality and informality, reflecting the Queen's character.
