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。

This new district, anchored by the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC), occupies a critical mid-point between South Boston, the Innovation District and Liberty Wharf, and the Fort Point and Channel Center neighborhoods. This new district aspires to be interactive, flexible, technologically advanced, inspired by art and events, and inclusive of many constituents (residents, workers, conventioneers, tourists). The Lawn on D demonstrates and pilots these ambitions, testing spatial configurations and programming that will eventually be deployed to a future event space that will become the heart and focus of the new district along D Street.

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。

The Lawn on D is conceived as a platform for innovation and an armature for infinite programming—packing multiple agendas and possibilities into 2.7 acres with skillful design and strong vision. It was designed for cost-effective implementation, flexibility, and ease of transformation.

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。

Composed of two parts—the plaza and the lawn—The Lawn on D is a hub of activity for community events. The plaza’s paths blaze trails from D Street to the side entrance of the BCEC, its signature lights describe a right-sized space for gatherings, and its bright, playful, movable furniture invites visitors to make the space their own. The lawn at The Lawn on D—sited where four feet of urban fill used to block views and preclude access—now provides a gracious forecourt to the BCEC along D Street and hosts a range of shorter-term art installations and projects.

D街草坪源自与马塞诸塞州会议中心管理局合作的大型城市设计与规划。马塞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 grew out of a larger urban design and planning collaboration with the MCCA. The MCCA is planning a major expansion of the BCEC, which will require additional hotel rooms, parking garages, supporting retail, and, critically, a vision and identity for D Street. Sasaki and Utile, Inc. led the urban design team that laid out a long-term vision for D Street, created design guidelines for short-term projects along D Street, and engaged the surrounding community.
