is a proposal for the Folly for London competition
The Goldberg London will be a mountain of gold as massive and imposing as possible.
As a result of the huge amount of gold used it will stand as a shining beacon alongside the river Thames and show the financial prowess of the City of London.
In it bankers and financial wizards will find their cathedral to look up to and get their inspiration for creating even more fresh digital money.
The path through the Goldberg will be a path of pilgrimage and as an experience of walking through gold a motivation to aspire for greatness.
For this function it is formed like a mine shift, twisting and winding nearly endlessly.
At the center of this mined path the Sanctum will be located.
This Sanctum will be a completely in diamonds cladded tomb like chamber, ever shining and reflecting its own greatness.
Its name will be Chamber of Aspiration.
From it the pilgrim will exit following the winding and twisting mine shaft to the opening on the other side, completing his journey.
Additionally the Goldberg can be used for active mining operations in the case the city officials need more wealth.
The masses can exert their force of violent greed on it and destroy it for their personal gains.
Regardless of what would happen, it would make the City of London a golden shining place of wealth and prosperity.
