Description
Summary:Hideo Sasaki is a legend in the fields of landscape architecture and planning, and Sasaki Associates, the firm he founded in 1953, remains a model of collaborative planning, says Marie York, FAICP, cochair of this year's APA awards jury. The National Planning Excellence Award for a Planning Firm is a testament to the Boston-based organization's long history and its leadership in charting the future of planning, she adds. Sasaki's diverse staff, which includes just about every design-related discipline, allows it to undertake a wide variety of assignments, from arts districts to university research parks, says James Miner, AICP, managing principal for planning and urban design.
