2012年12月14号清晨九点多钟，在桑迪胡克小学一角的教室，面对突如其来的连续枪击，20名儿童和6名老师全部丧生。

让自然来创造一个独特的纪念空间, 这个空间就是我所看着的世界。我所看着的世界，是一个永久性的进行时态。它表达着就在被杀害的一刹那，老师还正在为孩子们讲述着那个他们看着的令人所向往的春夏秋冬与平淡美好的日子; 它表达着枪击发生后，逝去的26名孩子和大人对这个世界永恒的寄托，这就像枪击发生的前一刻那样: 相信我所看着的世界会不断变得温暖，充满爱; 它同时也表达着活着的人们对仍在继续的生活充满了希望和信心。

At around 9 o’clock on 14th Dec 2012, in a classroom of Sandy Hook Elementary School, 20 children and 6 adult staff members died from the sudden mass shooting.

Let nature create a unique memorial space, which is “the World in my Eyes” with perpetual continuity. It shows that the staff members were telling children of every ordinary happy day in the enchanting years in their eyes just before the shooting; it expresses the perpetual wishes to the world from the 26 children and adults before as well as after the shooting: I believe that the world in my eyes will become warmer and filled with love; it also implies that people alive still have hope and faith in life.

遇难的学生全是6到7岁的儿童。这些孩子用自己的眼睛看生活，生活中的大人透过这纯真的眼神感受到真善美。纪念空间也希望向外界诠释这样一种美好记忆与积极向上的精神。

“我所看着的世界”，这个独特而平静的纪念空间，并非设计师人为单独可以完成，更为重要的是，必须让自然来一起做设计。尊重环境，巧妙地运用场地原本的空间特征、树木等自然元素，再结合人为低调的水之创造... 它们一起共同形成了一个纯粹的大地艺术: 望向天空的眼睛。（如上图）

All the minor victims are between 6 and 7 years old. These children see life with their eyes, while the adults see truth, kindness and beauty through these innocent eyes. The memorial space is also supposed to deliver to the world this kind of beautiful memory and positive spirit.

“The World in my Eyes” is a unique and quiet memorial space, which cannot be created by architects alone because nature is the more important designer. Respecting environment, using natural elements such as original space feature and trees in the scene, and adding the man-made water creation take shape a pure earth art: “ Eyes Looking into the Sky ”.

由于前来纪念的人们可能是遇难者家属、市民、以及周边游客等，因此这个“望向天空的眼睛”应当是一个具备相当包容度的纪念性的公共空间。同时，它以低调的自然姿态与周边的树林、湖水、公园共同形成了一个完整的景观体系。

在这个纪念性空间中，天空、树木、水面以及已有的26个大理石凳等，共同构成了一个与自然浑然一体的“教室空间”，以此回忆着枪击案还未发生前一刻的美好瞬间。这个教室以蓝天为顶，花树为墙，碧水为地...... 随着时节气候的更替，教室空间不断变幻... 因此，这是一个伴随着时间持续生长的空间。这个课堂空间，是对26个孩子和老师丧生前的最后那个共同美好时刻的无限延续。

当前来纪念的人们身处这个自然的教室中时，身处这个“望向天空的眼睛”中时，在寂静中听着细水长流之声...... 眼前的一切正是 “我所看着的世界”。

As its visitors are probably the family members of victims, citizens and travellers, “Eyes Looking into the Sky” should be a memorial public space with high level inclusiveness. Meanwhile, it joins the groves,the lake and the park quietly and naturally to create an integrated landscape.

In this memorial space, the sky, the trees, the water surface and the existing 26 marble benches constitute a “classroom space” perfectly blending into nature, which recalls the wonderful moment one second before the shooting. This classroom has the blue sky as its roof, the flowers and trees as its walls and the crystall water surface as its floor...The classroom space changes with seasons...In one word, this is a space which continues growing with time. The classroom space is a perpetual extension to the wonderful moment which the 26 children and staff members enjoyed together before they died.

When visitors stand in this classroom in nature and beside the “ Eyes Looking into the Sky”, they can hear the sounds of water and see “the World in my Eyes”.
