灵活而充满生机的公共空间，借着艺术、休闲和游乐为波士顿海港区注入无穷生命力，呈现多元包容的城市生态
D街草坪
The Lawn on D Powered by Citizens Bank is a permanent and beloved fixture in Boston's Seaport neighborhood. Its sponsorship and robust programming has contributed to its ongoing success as a self-sustaining, flexible urban playground that hosts arts, sport, social, and musical events throughout the year.
马萨诸塞州会议中心管理局（MCCA）与Sasaki领导的设计团队（包括HR&A Advisors）构思了D街草坪——一个灵活、充满生机的临时城市空间——作为D街的先行空间，定下市民参与的基调，展现新区的宏伟志愿。
新区以波士顿会展中心（BCEC）为核心，占据南波士顿、创新区、自由码头、福特角以及通道街社区关键的中心位置。新区力求互动、灵活、技术领先、充满艺术与活动，并吸引多样的人群（居民、工作者、与会者、游客等）。D街草坪展示并引领这些目标，实验空间与功能安排，帮助它们成为未来活动空间，作为沿D街新区的核心与焦点。
Integrating a large institution with the surrounding communities of Seaport, Financial District, and Southie neighborhoods, the Lawn on D creates an opportunity for neighbors, locals and visitors to come together
Bright furniture and signature lighting circumscribe a human scale. The plaza’s signature paths blaze trails from D Street to the side entrance of the BCEC.

D街草坪作为创新平台进行设计；为无限的功能提供支撑——通过精巧的设计与有力的愿景将多样的安排与可能融入这个1.1公顷的场地：节约成本、灵活且易于变化。
Innovative use of humble materials (painted asphalt and turf) paired with a strategic selection of iconic elements (furniture, lighting) yields great design on a modest budget
D街草坪由广场与草坪两部分构成，是各种功能与社区活动的枢纽。广场上的步道从D街出发延伸到波士顿会展中心侧门；标志性的灯饰标示出大小适合的聚会空间；而它明亮、活泼且可搬动的家具吸引人们来此，无拘无束。D街草坪的草坪区——原先1.2米高的城市堆积物阻挡了视线与通达——现在成为D街上波士顿会展中心引人入胜的前院，承办各类短期艺术项目。
Central to the concept of Lawn on D—and the greater district it anchors—is the focus of playfulness, delight, and pleasure
Moveable furniture and games let visitors make the space their own, moving things around to suit their needs
The plaza at the Lawn on D is a hub of activity that invites people of all ages to kick back and relax with fellow Bostonians and visitors to the Seaport district
Sited where 4’ of urban fill used to block views and preclude access, the Lawn on D now plays host to art, installations, music, furniture, and events. This program is largely locally-sourced; local artists, architects, musicians, and vendors share the space with the visiting public.
The space is understated, not over designed. It is a comfortable background to community activities, play, leisure, and events.

D街草坪源自与马萨诸塞州会议中心管理局合作的大型城市设计与规划。马萨诸塞州会议中心管理局正在规划对波士顿会展中心的大规模扩建，包括新增酒店房间、停车库、辅助零售设施，与更加关键的——对D街的定位与远期规划。Sasaki与Utile公司领导城市设计团队为D街制定长期愿景，沿D街为短期项目制定设计导则并融入周边社区。
The Lawn on D was once imagined as a temporary experimental space, but its resounding success has made it a permanent public green in an area of Boston in dire need of street-level activity
