The monument is located on top of a mountain, in order to exhibit an architectural illusion. This is achieved whereby from ground level, the monument appears to be impossibly raised by a singular pillar.
The textured surfaces of the monument reflect the amount of sunlight and visibility each significant surface receives. Circulation of the monument is located in the centre of the structure, providing ease of access, familiarity for movement as well as attributing to its physical structure.
The concept of openness in visual and physical space is visible where the monument has no significant walls, allowing complete visibility and transparency. This feature is also replicated in the seating and elevator of the lower monument.
The meeting space is a fusion of rectilinear and curvilinear geometry, visible in the texture, furniture and structure of the meeting space.
Textures of the structures correspond to the shape of the structure, where the texture of the meeting point acts as a mixture of rectangular and circular geometry.
Due to the absence of walls, almost every location on the monument provides visitors with 360 degree views of the incredible surrounding landscape.
The lookout points within the monument serve to inspire, motivate and awe its visitors.
The lower section of the monument utilises rectilinear geometry, as opposed to the upper curvilinear structure of the monument. Aspects and qualities of both structures combine in the meeting space, but continue to retain the features of openness in visibility, physical space and scalar sequence.
