The Cultural Landscape Foundation web site summarized his career: "Both in his academic career and in private practice, Sasaki valued cross-disciplinary collaboration, promoting a comprehensive and cooperative approach to planning and design. Significant public landscapes include Greenacre Park (New York City), Constitution Plaza (Hartford, Connecticut), University of Colorado at Boulder, Sea Pines Plantation (Hilton Head Island, South Carolina), John Deere and Company Headquarters (Moline, Illinois) and the Christian Science Center (Boston). The firm evolved through various configurations, but consistent was Sasaki’s conviction in the notion of oasis and that landscapes can restore the human spirit."
