英文名称：Seattle Memorial Garden

位置：美国 西雅图

设计师：Robert Murase

该项目是对美国西雅图市纪念花园的介绍，场地位于西雅图艺术博物馆对面的街道上。纪念花园的面积并不大，但是它对西雅图市结构的发展有着重要的影响，花园内有一系列的梯级水景，比如水池，还有黑色大理石铺设的地面。

该项目是由著名设计师Robert Murase来完成的，它是Murase Associates Landscape Architects内的首席设计师，纪念花园的占地面积约为半英亩，主要是为了纪念那些在为国家荣誉失去生命的战士。Murase的设计从传统的日本园林中获得灵感，而且与他在第二次世界大战期间在俘虏收容所的军事经历有关。Robert Murase巧妙地将水景与场地上的天然石景结合起来，周边广场和花园的部分带给人们安静，平和的感觉。尽管西雅图市区非常繁华，但是这里被誉为“心灵的绿洲”，是一个沉思放松的好地方。从上往下看，花园呈L形，水流穿过整个花园，7,500个战士的名字被刻写在长长的黑色大理石墙面上，面向西方，无比的庄严，令人肃然起敬。

Located across the street from the Seattle Art Museum, the Garden of Remembrance weaves itself into Seattle’s downtown urban fabric through a series of cascading water pools and rough, black granite.

Designed by Robert Murase, of Murase Associates Landscape Architects, the Garden of Remembrance is half-acre war memorial honoring Washington State residents who died for their country. Murase’s design influences were drawn from his Japanese design roots and his experience in an internment camp during WWII and Army service. Skillfully combining water and rock, the plaza and garden spaces of the memorial successfully evoke a peaceful, contemplative oasis despite the noise and bustle of downtown Seattle.With water running throughout and uniting the L-shaped garden, the memorial is oriented such that the names of the 7,500 veterans etched into the long black granite walls face the western sun.
