Appreciation towards Vladimir Djurovic Landscape Architecture for providing the following description:

这个花园为了纪念在2005年2月14日被暗杀的总理拉菲克哈里里而修建。这个总理不光是一个复杂的政治人物，也是战后提出在历史中心进行大手笔商业计划的雄心勃勃人物。这个项目，不仅对总理的远见和成就致敬，在缅怀的同时更营造出一个在城市密集地区，可以自由呼吸，开放而温馨的公共空间。 

花园位于黎巴嫩政府下面山坡的一个三角地带，细长条的灰色花岗岩，如镜般的水池，草坪，以及一列蓝花楹树。简练，象征，有限，克制，但是隽永。开放的态度引接所有公民。花岗岩代表清醒和毅力；镜面流水池代表连续性；草坪是视觉与触觉的对比；蓝花楹树则提供温馨氛围；至于散落在地上的紫红花，是生活不断向前更新的产物。

After the assassination of the ex-­‐Prime Minister, Rafic Hariri, on February 14, 2005, VDLA was commissioned a memorial space dedicated to his memory. Rafic Hariri will be remembered not only as a central figure in the country’s complex political scene, but also as the man who rebuilt Beirut’s war-­‐torn historic commercial centre though the launching of the most ambitious construction program in the history of the country.

Our intent, in the creation of this project, was not only to pay tribute to the vision and achievements of Hariri and perpetuate his memory, but also to create a public space which encourages intermingling in an open, welcoming environment, while providing a much-­‐ needed breathing space within the city’s dense urban fabric.

Located on a hillside below the Grand Serail, Lebanon’s Government Palace, the Hariri Memorial Garden occupies a sloped triangular site.  Elongated planes of dark grey granite and water mirrors, laid within a grass lawn, step down towards the city. A row of  trees marks the edge between the steps and the Serail’s façade.

The limited palette of elements and materials are charged with symbolic significance. The steps symbolize the gradual rebuilding of Beirut and an open invitation to the city*. The granite planes represent sobriety and perseverance, and the flowing water mirrors embody continuity. The surrounding grass lawn provides a visual contrast and a tactile solicitation to enter*. Framing the length of the site, the jacaranda trees offer a welcoming shade and evoke, with their seasonal scattering of mauve blossoms, life’s constant renewal.
