Hideo Sasaki was one of the most consequential designers and educators of the twentieth century. His legacy lies in bringing landscape architecture together with the other planning and design disciplines through his teaching at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the professional practice that he founded, Sasaki.

Author Richard Galehouse was first a student and later a partner of Hideo. The book traces the development of Sasaki’s practice in the early decades of the 1960s and 1970s. With selected case studies, Dick illustrates Hideo’s legacy of design collaboration.

In a distinguishing feature of the book, Hideo speaks directly to the reader through excerpts from the long interview Dick carried out with Hideo five years after Hideo’s retirement.
