In June 1991, independence of Slovenia
was proclaimed in front of the state parliament in the centre
of Ljubljana. The event called for an inspiring visual backdrop,
achieved with series of temporary interventions in surrounding
area, as well as defining and positioning explicit state symbols
in the square. A mast with a flag originally 14 meters long
was erected in the axis of the parliament, and next to it
a lime-tree, the national symbol, was planted. With the lack
of natural soil in the existing square structure, a suspended
cube with in-built watering and heating system was incorporated
into the adjoining open atrium.
