评委会评语：
解决较大问题的高雅设计。景观设计师重新将人们的注意力转移到纪念碑上。提供了分段处理的缓坡和舒适的环境小品来为人们提供私密保障，例如树木和桌椅。几何形式的处理手法非常简洁老练。

An elegant solution to a tremendous problem. The landscape architect has put the focus back on the monument and provided security through gentle grading and beautiful amenities, like trees and seating. The resolution of the geometry is very simple and sophisticated

项目介绍：

这座新生的华盛顿纪念碑阐明了在国家广场背景下纪念碑所赋有的性质和特征，体现了集艺术和手工艺为一体的园林建筑具有的杰出地位。此设计大胆清晰，由一个最初的设计理念，项目资助演变为保护城市，防止恐怖主义变身华丽的公民市容。由此证明，健全的安全防护和巧妙的设计不仅是可能的，而且功能齐全，形态优雅。

The revitalized Washington Monument articulates the site’s character and identity within the context of the National Mall and demonstrates the art and craft of landscape architecture in a very prominent place. The design is bold and clear; a minimalist solution that turned a project originally funded to prevent terrorism into a handsome civic amenity. It is proof that the union of sound security and artful design is not only possible, but can be functional and graceful.
