Appreciation towards SpY for providing the following description:

这个项目的主要思想显而易见。它位于西班牙马德里马约尔广场上，由一个70米长的天然草地(总共3500平方米)组成，以此来纪念马德里的四百年诞辰。虽然项目很简单，但是当地居民和游客都为广场新颖的样貌所惊喜，欣然应邀，前来感受这个被舒适地环抱着的空间。超过10万人在连续四天的时间里来到这里，项目的落成也受到了相关国家和国际媒体的关注与相应。

The main idea of this Project is as simple as recognizable. It consists of a 70-meter natural grass circle (3500 square meters in total) located in the center of the Plaza Mayor (Madrid) commemorating its 4th centenary. Given the simplicity of such Project, both locals and tourists were immediately surprised by the decontextualization of the Plaza and the invitation to new ways to feel pleasantly and comfortably embraced. Over 100 thousand people enjoyed this artistic offer, along the 4 days that it lasted, that was also echoed by the most relevant National and International Media.

这是一个为所有年龄层的公民和游客提供的艺术品，让他们以一种有趣和直接的方式参与其中，从而成为了一个具有纪念性意义的空间，为人们创造难忘的回忆。它作为马德里文化的临时性标志，纪念着马德里文化的第四个一百年。

An artistic work offered to citizens and tourists of all ages that were allowed to take part of it in a playful and direct manner, thereby achieving the creation of a milestone, a memorable memory and a temporary transformation of this symbol of the Madrid’s culture, on its 400th centenary.

▼项目以其至简的造型打破传统情境，和四周的历史建筑形成了鲜明的时代对比；the simple form successfully decontextualize the plaza, making a strong contrast with its surrounding historic architecture

这一公共空间的复兴使得路人与他们自己的城市关系更加紧密。这种类型的艺术作品使市民变成艺术家，反之亦然。它还将地面变成一个惊喜的空间，让人们相遇，让人们在此深思。换句话说，它用公开的方式将艺术的好处与公众分享。其他城市，如巴黎、纽约和莫斯科，都表示对这一艺术作品感到有兴趣，也希望让他们各自的公民去感受这种体验。

The revitalization of this public space pretends to involve pedestrians with their own city. This type of artistic work turns the citizens into the artists and vice-versa; it also passes the floor to surprise, to encounter and invites to reflection. In other words, it openly shares the benefit of art with the whole public. Other cities, such as Paris, New York and Moscow, have already shown their interest for this artwork in order for their respective citizens to feel the experience.

▼人们可以从广场的铺砖上直接走上草坪，路面质感的变化与颜色、几何一起激活整个广场空间；people can walk directly onto the turfs from the hard pavement; the changes of floor texture, color and geometries activate the whole plaza area all together

▼项目成为公共空间的完美体现，人们在这里休息，同时欣赏着四周的古典建筑；the project is a perfect presentation of public space, where people rest and enjoy the beautiful view of the classic buildings

▼柔软的草皮让这里成为孩子的游戏天堂，the soft turfs makes the space a paradise for the kids
