根据前总统卢武铉的遗愿，他的墓地要靠近他的家乡，要在家乡附近，然后有一个小的墓碑，他不愿意像那些已故的前总统那样，把坟墓置于离人们最高最远的国家公墓，他希望他的墓地能过靠近街道、靠近广场、靠近人们，他觉得那样才是适合的。

正是根据以上的要求，该项目进行了设计建造。坟墓的地址选在了峰下村，靠近他的家乡，是他2008年离职后居住的地方。整个广场的形状呈现的是三角形，总面积大约是3300多平方米，由此同时，两条清澈的溪流缓缓流过广场，从墓地的旁边经过。该广场的基础设施建设的工作已经基本完成了，可以进行接待工作，人们可以来这里向已故的前总统缅怀致敬，表达哀思。

墓地周围用的是花岗岩石，在墓碑上，有不少的黄色丝带，那是那些前来哀悼总统的人为表达对总统的哀思而特意制作的。墓碑上写着人们为寄托哀思而写的铭文。大约在墓地周围60米左右的距离，有一面墙，而这面墙的用意是以此来增添此地的肃穆和历史的厚重感。墓地都被平坦的岩石覆盖着，前面有一个非常小的墓碑，在墓地的四周，种植着不少的松树，这些树木四季常青，枝繁叶茂。

I was part of a committee formed to fulfill Roh’s last wish to build, in his memory, “a very small gravestone” near his home. The primary idea was that his grave should be a memorial place for a “voluntary gentile.” It should not follow the tradition of other late ex-presidents whose graves are situated at the farthest and highest place inside the National Cemetery. A place close to the street, to the plaza, to us citizens was more fitting.

The location for his grave was decided upon visiting Bongha Village, his hometown to which he returned after leaving office in early 2008. The triangular site, with an area of 3300 m2, was crossed by two streams. Division of the site into three parts was thus already in place, parts which corresponded to the actions of a visitor as one entered, stood by, and paid homage to the late ex-President. It was as if the area was carefully configured to meet the tripartite program. The place already had the answer.

To place the area beyond the ordinary, it was lifted by a meter from the surrounding “everyday” roads. The earth, partially even, descending, or rising along its natural geography, will be covered by pieces of flat granite inscribed with citizens’ tributes initially written on yellow (Roh’s symbolic color) ribbons during the funeral ceremony. Time will wear out these inscriptions someday, but their memories will persist. In order to define its territory, a wall of cor-ten plates ran sixty meters in length along the edges of the grave area. This steel wall, intensifying the sense of place with the weight of silence, will weather to accumulate the traces of changing landscapes. The flat rock covering the urn will also be the aforementioned “very small gravestone,” laid upon a cor-ten plate to form its own territory. The placement of pine trees around the grave area will create a connection to the existing group of pine trees at the foot of Mt. Bonghwa, and the area will finally set its place within the larger world.
