The memorial place BB is conceived as a quiet memory of thankfulness and necessity “to fly on your own wings”. At the same time it is some kind of mutual projection of 2 great personalities of 2 nations. The connecting line arising from the present to the past and from the stone reef to the empty space above the “fjord” serves for this purpose. The reef is a symbolic expression of the Jukovič´s memorial and the empty space above the “fjord” of the person of BB itself. The bench is the visitor´s tool to get closer to them. It is some kind of intimate place for the discussion of person with nature, eternity…god.
The ground plan of the bench is slightly trapezoidal and ended by the glass banister in the narrowest spot above the country. The wooden floor continues to the reef behind the road where the glass panel with the title Bjornson, trilingual information and with the picture of the original Jurkovič´s original of the memorial is situated. During the detailed look on the panel, the title Bjornson will overlap with the rock reef which enables the visitor to “experience” the idea without any interference to the nature. During the dark, it will be possible to project the title on the rock with the led reflector (it will not require the electric intake; because it will have a solar panel with an accumulator). The bench will be constructed from the Norwegian pine tree, as a barrier set coated with desks alt. glued support. It will be symbolically supported in two points. Embedding near the road will be into the tub so there will lead a non-barrier access. Two astride pillars will be attached into the concrete base in the slope by the steel holders. Title next to the bench will be like a negative print to the concrete massive – cuboids. In the case of social events, the wreaths can be hanged here. The flag-bearers will be wooden and imbedded into the concrete base by the steel holders. The whole area from the road to the terrain edge will be restricted for the occasional parking and pedestrians. The part of the area below the rock will be for parking. Terrain reconstructions will be made of the grouted surface (sand, clay) enabling an easy maintenance. NEWS.
