南花园建在芝加哥艺术学院南边的一个停车场顶端，这是现代

师Dan Kileys保存得最好的一个作品。南花园是熙熙攘攘的城市边上一处平和而安静的栖息地，是一个华丽的、不容错失的艺术博物馆。这是一个不受时间影响的、舒缓的开放庭院。长春花爬上了生长在橙色砾石的山楂树树干。树木形成了一个低矮树冠以遮荫，树池是适宜的坐凳高度，这片乐土已经成为上班族喜爱的休息场所，他们甚至在这里食用午餐。

我在一个雨后的晴朗天气去了这个花园。发现尽管受到天气条件影响，人们仍然很喜欢这个空间，他们坐在树池上阅读、对话或者吃东西。山楂树场地上有一个长矩形水池，水池对面是一组雕塑。这个寓言雕塑以五位女性为特征，每个女性都代表一个大湖。

Built atop a parking garage on the south side of the Art Institute of Chicago, this is one of modern landscape architect Dan Kileys best preserved commissions. A peaceful and quiet respite from the bustling city down below, the South Garden is a magnificent, not-to-be-missed addition to the art museum.

Theres a timeless, soothing quality to this open courtyard. Vinca crawls up the trunks of a gridded bosquet of cockspur hawthorn trees (Crataegus crus-galli) growing out of orange gravel and raised planter beds. The trees form a low canopy of shade and since the raised planter beds are at just the right height for sitting, the South Garden has become a favorite spot for office workers to take their lunch breaks.I’ve visited the site on a day of rain and then sunshine. People still love to come and sit in the space despite the weather conditions, whether its to catch up on reading, have a conversation, or to eat.

The hawthorns also frame a long rectangular pool which terminates at the Lorado Tafts neoclassically designed Fountain of the Great Lakes (1913). This is an allegorical sculpture featuring five women, each of whom represent one of the great lakes.
