A convergence of ideas, technologies and environmental imperatives challenge the design field as the new millennium unfolds. In the very thick of these epic changes is Sasaki Associates, an inter-disciplinary design firm of exceptional depth and breadth. Sasaki's work delves into virtually every area of the built environment, from planning and urban design to architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, civil engineering and graphic design. In gestures large and small, Sasaki's work evinces a belief that creativity finds its highest expression in satisfying the human need for civic engagement, environmental responsibility, utility and beauty. As detailed here, it is at the intersection of the multiple design disciplines that the most unexpected--and effective--design strategies are formulated, tested and executed.
