    « Le mémorial de la reine Elizabeth II sera avant tout un jardin », Michel Desvigne, paysagiste

    L’agence française Michel Desvigne Paysagiste réalisera, avec l’architecte britannique Norman Foster, un lieu rendant hommage à celle qui aura régné durant 70 ans sur le Royaume-Uni. Son fondateur dessine, pour « Le Moniteur », les grands contours de ce monument commémoratif qui sera en grande partie végétal, et implanté au cœur du parc londonien de Saint-James.

    Landscape is a representation in which both changes in the way we see things and modifications of the Earth’s surface are reflected. Photographic reportages produced over the last few decadeshave accustomed us to looking with a critical eye at many dramatic and spectacular situations dueto the effects of earthquakes, deforestation, etc. A new dramaturgy has entered scenes of thelandscape, influencing the way we perceive the world. Taking account of the fact that architectsact in situ, i.e. on the terrain—unlike painters, writers, photographers, and the like, who operatefrom a visual perspective—we will examine multiple experiments with the adoption of anarchitecture suited to restoring an environment to health, if necessary, even by means of areasof urban afforestation.

    The case studies have given us the measure of the different "fabrics" that make up the city, and their possible transformations. The intent is to extend the aesthetic that has emerged to the scale of the landscape. Vast expanses of geographical continuity, running along the river, are taking the place of major works of infrastructure, and are inserted into the districts following old routes for the supply of water.

    Queen Elizabeth memorial to include bridge inspired by her tiara

    The winning design for the national memorial for Queen Elizabeth II will feature a bridge with a balustrade made of glass, new gates and commemorative gardens.

    The design will also feature her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, alongside a traditional, large statue of the late Queen overlooking the Mall.

    Lord Norman Foster's design team has been announced as the winner of the competition for a memorial to honour Britain's longest-reigning monarch, to be built in St James's Park in central London.
