The closer deployment ideas for the national monument of Queen Elizabeth II were now unveiled, including a bronze occupation of a windsor -oak tree and a huge canopy from Steinlily pads.
Other ideas include audio installations with the voice of the late Queen and a statue of her next to Prince Philip and a “graceful” stone bridge with cascading water.
Other options include a “quiet family” of romantic gardens, which were inspired by the Georgian architect John Nash and “Waldbad in the heart of the city”.
The public is asked as part of an online public exhibition opened today, which was opened today to feedback on the five early design concepts for St. James's Park in London.
The competition is carried out by Malcolm Reading Consultants, with feedback on the proposed designs by May 19. All statues serve to illustrate purposes at this time and a sculptor will be appointed later in the process.
The monument in the park near Buckingham Palace is celebrated as one of the most important design initiatives in modern British history to offer the longest -ruling monarch in the country, which died in September 2022 at the age of 96.
A committee members' committee will select the profit concept and work with the team on the final design, which is expected to be presented in 2026 that would have been the 100th birthday of the late queen.
The committee will also select an artist by a separate process to create a figurative representation by Elizabeth II for the location in the shopping center. The final design is presented to King Charles III and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starrer for approval.

1. Foster + partner
A “calm family” of the royal gardens inspired by John Nash's original landscape of the park and by one by Lord Foster by Foster + partners with the artist Yinka Shonibar, ecologist Professor Nigel Dunnett and landscape architect Michel Desvigne Pysagiste.
Other elements are a queen statue alongside Philip on the Birdcage Walk next to a Prince Philip Gate and on the other side of the park a queen riding statement in a new citizenship called Queen Elizabeth II.
The plans also include a contemporary wind sculpture for reflection, audio installations of the queen's voice, a digital conservatory and a translucent unit bridge.
A translucent Unity Bridge in St. James's Park is one of the plans of Foster + Partners
A queen of riding statue would be in a citizens' room called Queen Elizabeth II.
The plans of Foster + Partners also contain a contemporary wind sculpture for reflection
The queen's equestrian statue would be at the “Queen Elizabeth II Place” at the Marlborough Gate.
2. Heatherwick Studio
Bright of made – a memorial wall, inspired by the idea of ”together” with 70 Lily Pad jumping stones by Heatherwick Studio with sculptor and ceramicist Halima Cassell, MRG Studio, Webb Yates and Arup.
In the middle of the bridge there is a limestone sculpture of the deceased queen, whose nickname was in children and was protected by a huge canopy by eight carved sculptural lily cushions and the stone was chosen because he will age with dignity.
A second proposal for a monument includes 70 Lily Pad jumping board from Heatherwick Studio
The Bridge of Intumess Memorial Walk was inspired by the idea of ”together”
In the center of the proposed bridge there is a limestone sculpture of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The stone in the Heatherwick Studio proposal was selected because it will age “with dignity”
3. J & l Gibbons
An innovative stone bridge over the floor, tree roots and water with a gentle water cascade to represent the deceased queen as the foundation of the nation was designed by J & L Gibbons with production designer Michael Levine and William Matthews Associates.
The aim is to grasp a “meandering geologie flow that carries people through a short -lived choreography of flower and color under the high tree baldachin” and includes Glades to invite “Waldbad in the heart of the city”.
A third option by J&L Gibbons is an innovative stone bridge over floor, tree roots and water
The idea of the proposal is to represent the deceased queen as the basic rock of the nation

4. Tom Stuart-Smith
The oak of the queen-one exact bronze occupation of an 'impressive' old iche from the Windsor Great Park, which represents the strength and endurance of the deceased queen and symbolizes the monarchy, is the central focus of a design by Tom Stuart-Smith with the architects of Jamie Feubert and the artist Adam Lowe of Fact.
The digitally scanned replica was on a base in the lake with a curved stone bridge as a viewing platform.
There would also be a serpentine commemorative path, included in the lived bronze exits from the life of the deceased queen and a “sound landscape” of memories of those affected by them.
The fourth plan applies to a bronze cast of an “impressive” old oak from the Windsor Great Park
The digitally scanned replica tree would be on a base in the lake, as these plans show
Together with the tree there would also be a serpentine commemoration for all age groups and skills
The plans of Tom Stuart-Smith contain a curved stone bridge as a viewing platform
5. Wilkinoneyre
A thread of paths and landscapes that were gently woven through the natural fabric of the park with two 'elegant bridges' were proposed by Wilkinoneyre with the artists Lisa Vandy and Fiona Clarke.
The goal of imposing the “lightest footprint” of the park focuses on the thread with symbolic rooms for reflection on seven themes of the life of the deceased queen – reign, faith, commonwealth, values, nature, family and prince Philip.
