The design of the Tisch Center (aka The Lizzie) at The Frederick Gunn School brings people together by creating a sustainable, contextual, and dynamic space for the future. The building unites diverse learning environments, and it acknowledges different viewpoints and perspectives to turn ideas into action. We love hearing Sasaki designers Marta Guerra-Pastrián and Vinicius Gorgati reflect on the intentions and outcomes of the project and seeing this building teeming with students!

'Urban Design and the?Architecture?of Place' I recently spoke at the Architecture of the Metropolis conference?in?Gdansk, Poland about some of the core ideas and underpinning principles of our?urban design?work at Sasaki. The international?conference was sponsored by the City of Gdansk and featured speakers from across Europe. It was wonderful to connect with?practitioners, representatives of government authorities, researchers and scientists about interdisciplinary design for cities. While in Gdansk, I also had the opportunity to present a lecture on 'Sasaki: Recent Works' at the Gdańsk University of Technology. #UrbanDesign #Architecture #LandscapeArchitecture #Cities

At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Carolyn Pope Edwards Hall embodies the spirit of 21st-century teaching and learning with its theme: "Making Learning Visible." This innovative building brings the College of Education and Human Sciences (CEHS) together under one roof, fostering collaboration among faculty, students, and visitors. ?? Key features include: Three "neighborhood clusters" designed for classrooms, faculty offices, and community spaces. A vibrant “Living Room” lounge that serves as the heart of the building. Flexible, tech-enabled learning environments supporting hybrid and immersive education. By breaking down departmental silos and creating spaces for connection and creativity, Carolyn Pope Edwards Hall redefines what an academic hub can be. We're proud to partner with the University of Nebraska in designing a space that supports the educators of tomorrow. #EducationDesign #CollaborativeSpaces #21stCenturyLearning #SasakiBuilds

At Sasaki, we believe waterfronts can connect people, nature, and communities. Our latest video celebrates the transformative power of thoughtful design along the water, with a special highlight of the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade in Los Angeles. Opened earlier this year, this vibrant public space reimagines a once-industrial shoreline, creating a destination that invites exploration, connection, and reflection. We are proud of this work together with the Port of Los Angeles. Now, you can dive into the story of how we’re shaping the future of waterfronts. ?? by Reza Monahan and team #WaterfrontDesign #UrbanResilience #SasakiDesign #LosAngeles Philip Dugdale Zachary Chrisco

?? November 17 is the deadline for you to tell us what you think about the three design concepts for YOUR arboretum. Please give your input so that we can create a fourth, final design that will serve as our master plan for the future. Take the survey today! ?? https://lnkd.in/gp2E9pNi And, a special thank you to our incredible partner, Sasaki! Video content courtesy of Robb S. Garcia.

As Boston Harbor Now and the Harborwalk celebrate 40 years of providing public access to the waterfront, we're taking a look in our library and archives to better understand Sasaki's historic work with the Boston Redevelopment Authority and legacy project at Boston Waterfront Park. In order to activate the water's edge, today's designers must balance rising sea levels with public access. Sasaki's environmental analysis in 1979 recognized the need to prepare for 100-year flooding, and this still stands as the biggest issue facing the waterfront today.

Sasaki's work has been featured in Landscape Journal with Allyson Mendenhall as a co-author! This recognition highlights the value of practice-based research in design. Thank you, Landscape Architecture Foundation, for showcasing how research drives impactful design.

On October 18th, two Sasaki projects were honored at the LABC's 54th Annual Los Angeles Architectural Awards Ceremony! ?? Recipient of the Chairman's Award in Landscape Architecture, the transformational Wilmington Waterfront Promenade is a new 10-acre park reconnecting the community of Wilmington to the Port of Los Angeles waterfront. A winner in the Beyond LA category, the Universidad de Lima Recreation and Wellness Center is the institution's first dedicated wellness center, creating a hub of recreation, activity, and social gathering. Congrats to all the winners, and thank you Los Angeles Business Council for hosting a wonderful ceremony! #LosAngelesArchitecture #SasakiDesign #ArchitectureAwards #LandscapeArchitecture

Sasaki worked with the State of Minnesota's Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board to reimagine the Minnesota State Capitol District. The Capitol Mall Design Framework, based on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, introduces 8 Big Ideas to reshape this historic area into a more accessible, inclusive, and vibrant space for all Minnesotans. ?? Through a rigorous community engagement process involving over 14,000 voices, Sasaki worked with state, county, and community leaders to envision a Capitol Mall that represents the state’s rich cultural diversity. By bridging past and future, the plan creates spaces for work, play, and civic life while respecting the legacy of Wabasha Hill and connecting seamlessly to downtown St. Paul. The framework paves the way for new programming, ADA-compliant facilities, and sustainable infrastructure that makes this iconic site More Welcoming for More Minnesotans.
