WEST 8:主喷泉花园的改造是基于Longwood的第一个总体规划方案之上的，原版方案完成于2011年。皮埃尔·杜邦(Pierre du Pont)最初震撼人心的设计方案获得了荣誉和尊重，但喷泉花园(fountain garden)还是需要被重新设计。

WEST 8:The Main Fountain Garden revitalization builds upon Longwood’s first-ever physical master plan, which was completed by the landscape architect in 2011. The original, astonishing design by Pierre du Pont was honored, and yet, the fountain garden was re-imagined.

Beautiful materials, a marriage of plants, sculpture and water, pleasurable details and a choreographed sequence have been incorporated in the Main Fountain Garden with fresh energy.

主喷泉花园的喷泉设计采用了历史和当代元素，其中一些元素的规模和美学特征令人惊叹。从这个意义上来说，加上夜间的花园景观效果，Longwood花园适应性修复的主喷泉花园可能会被视为当今世界上最棒的体验性音乐喷泉。

The Main Fountain Garden’s fountain design employs historic and contemporary elements, some of which are astounding in their scale and aesthetic character. In this sense, and together with the profound, nighttime garden setting, Longwood Gardens’ adaptively restored Main Fountain Garden may be seen to provide the finest concert fountain experience on Earth, today.

The reimagining of Longwood Gardens’ Main Fountain Garden has brought together two opposite experiences of water – the serene water garden by day, and the show-stopping, exuberant spectacle by night.
