英文名称：America Green Wave Lawn

位置：美国

设计师：Maya Lin

该项目是一个地景艺术，是由著名设计师Maya Lin完成的。她以大地为画纸，草木为原料，构造了一幅精美的艺术画卷。Maya Lin最著名的作品是她所设计的越南战争纪念碑。作者是在大二的时候看到该景观装置的，波浪形的绿色地面就像是绵延群山的缩影，触动人心，也吸引了很多游客的注意。

这里位于Francois-Xavier Bagnoud大楼的东南方向，十分低调，密歇根大学的学生们刚开始可能都没注意到它的存在，这也不难理解。草地周边是繁华的街道和人行小路，人们来去匆匆，很难注意到它。该项目主要为了纪念Francois-Xavier Bagnoud而建设的，Francois-Xavier Bagnoud是密歇根大学航空航天工程专业的毕业生，在1986年马里沙漠的一次营救行动中失去生命。Bagnoud作为一名直升机飞行员已经参加过超过300多次营救行动，拯救了许多孤儿和艾滋病患者。他的母亲Albina Du Boisrouvray创建了FXB协会，它是一个国际性的非营利组织，主要为了继续他儿子未完成的使命。

The Wavefield is a work of land art, sculpted out of earth and grass by the famous architect Maya Lin, probably best known for her work on the Vietnam War Memorial.Ever since I saw pictures of the rolling earth sculpture as a second-year landscape architecture student, I’ve always wanted to visit. But truth be told, by the time I finally found the site, I was kind of underwhelmed.

Tucked away on the southeast side of the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building, many University of Michigan students aren’t even aware of the existence of the Wave Field, and it’s not hard to understand why. It’s completely hidden from street view and main pedestrian pathways.The Wave Field was actually commissioned as a memorial for Francois-Xavier Bagnoud, a graduate of the UMich aerospace engineering program, who in 1986, died in a helicopter accident in the Mali desert on a rescue mission. Bagnoud had been working as a helicopter pilot and had flown over 300 rescue missions for orphans and AIDS victims. His mother, philanthropist Albina Du Boisrouvray, created the Association FXB, an international non-profit, in honor of her son and later commissioned this work in his memory.
