In a collaboration formed with Tom Stuart-Smith Studio and Adam Lowe of Factum Arte, Jamie Fobert Architects is part of one of five design teams shortlisted to design a memorial to The Late Queen. Other shortlisted teams include Foster + Partners with Yinka Shonibare and Heatherwick Studio with Halima Cassell.
The site for the new national Queen Elizabeth II Memorial will include the area of St James’s Park adjacent to The Mall at Marlborough Gate, and land surrounding the pathway down to the lake, including the Blue Bridge. The site was chosen because of its proximity to the ceremonial route of The Mall, its historical and constitutional significance and personal connection to Queen Elizabeth.
The winning design team will be announced later this year.
