1/24

Hello! Our monument celebrates exploration, and the brave men and women that dared to step out into the unknow


2/24

For our location, we scoured the world for amazing clifs and breathtaking views. It was all about the expanse, an uview of the horizon and curvature of the world. So we were led to Pulpit Rock, located in Norway.


3/24

Its located near the southwest coastline, and overlooks a massive river and mountain range.


4/24

You might have noticed already, but its really tall. 1,982 feet to be exact. And because of this... (click)


5/24

Its a worldwide base jumping mecca.


6/24

Heres a view looking down. Some people even like to sit on the edge. Surprisingly the clif is naturally made, forme

So once at the end platform, the visiter could listen to a speech built into a kiosk of the front-most railing pole. (clbit.) He brings the importance of exploration to life using various technologies related to transportation.

Plan D

Here is the plan drawing of the monument. Its essentially a one way bridge or lookout that is cantilevered over therock. Its long sloped path hints at the infinite and with such a massive drop, the visiter is really dared to explore aonto this somewhat terrifying but amazing structure.


14/24

So now well look at the model. The visitors are first greeted with the monuments title, engraved into the clif-topletterforms themselves are even massive, encouraging the visitors to walk over them and explore them in a way.


15/24

A visiter is then presented with a large set of steps. We like to think of this as the initial struggle of exploration, likmassive mountain.


16/24

After the steps, there is a path, sloped slightly upward.


17/24

It tapers in slightly and seems to stretch out into the distance, seemingly infinite.


18/24

Another view...


19/24

And at the end of the path, they come to an overlook. Its circular to provide the best view of the area. Its the viewhundreds of daily visitors to make the 3 hour hike to the clifs plateau.


20/24

The platform itself is also a ring. So visitors can look both outward, or downward to the river below.


21/24

The walkways are kept at a minimum of 12 feet in width to allow for people to easily pass one another.


22/24

The 2 staircases also help direct the flow of trac around the bridge, so people arent bumping into each other as the platform and back to the clif. The railings are a reinforced glass as well, helping to keep visitors safe, yet keepunobstructed.


23/24

And so the monument is also a variation of steely grays to not only blend in a bit with the area, but to not distract visitors desire to look out at the landscape, not necessarily the monument. And the clifedge is still left open on eithose avid base jumpers and daring visitors.


24/24

Thanks for listening.
