No joke.
The aircraft I refer to is not Gripen or F22, but Hot air ballon!
Well, or something like it.
It’s well know that the sculpture in Sergelstorg has been haunted by technical problems, it never was able to deliver the intended visual output and - quoting Hall - "thus adds itself to the many projects within the [reconstruction of central Stockholm] that didn't endure confrontation with reality."
Today there are very few thing to do on the street level of Sergelstorg, the sculpture functions no more than a big traffic sign, and the big fountain can’t be accessed by pedestrian either. It’s only a place you pass by to reach some destinations. And even worse, many people don’t regarded as a pleasant place to pass by. My teacher told me a story, once in Sergelstorg, a foreign tourist talked to his Swedish friends:” Oh, it’s such a pity, I didn’t know Stockholm was also bombed in WWII.”
Why not make it a happy place? There are enough gray concrete and cubic buildings, there are enough dark shadow and cold wind. Let’s have a big Happy face!
Let’s change the roundabout into T crossing, and then we will have a square on street level, then we install a Hot Air Ballon launch base where you can find restaurant, info center and fly into sky! In the balloon you can have a real panorama view of the city!
The balloon can change every month, to keep fresh experience.
If the chain is long enough, oneday we can even get into aerospace!
.......I didn't know they have the same idea in Berlin---Balloon over Potsdamer Platz
