As a member of the Los Angeles community, and having opened the newest Sasaki studio here last year, we are heartbroken by the devastation of the past week. Our team is safe and in close contact as we further assess and monitor the winds and ongoing containment efforts. Watching the destruction unfold and witnessing clients and neighbors lose their homes has been deeply painful. Amidst this tragedy, we’ve also seen extraordinary resilience — communities rallying together, offering shelter, support, and hope. Like many, we have watched in awe of the efforts made by first responders and community members who have come together selflessly to avoid further loss. At Sasaki, we believe that design has a critical role to play in helping cities like Los Angeles adapt to the challenges of climate change, including the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires. To that end, we are committed to working with our partners to envision and implement solutions that help mitigate risks and build safer, stronger communities. Over the weekend, hundreds of L.A.-area architects, engineers, and contractors have added their names to a crowdsourced list of building professionals who are eager to help replace what’s been lost. I’ve added Sasaki to this list; interested professionals can submit their names here: https://lnkd.in/e882UEb8. In addition to professional services, donations can be made to the California Fire Foundation and Direct Relief. We want to extend our heartfelt support to those impacted and will continue to do what we can to contribute to the ongoing efforts that remain ahead of us all. As we continue to find ways to support our city, we are committed to helping communities rebuild and adapt to these new realities. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we want to hear from you. Los Angeles welcomes everyone; it’s my home, and it’s a place where we dream up new futures. That creativity and vision is needed again as we come together to recover and to rebuild. Sasaki

The new year will bring a renewed Copley Square in downtown Boston! 🌳⛲ As featured in the Boston Globe, the northeast triangle of the historic park is now open, which will soon be followed by the section across from the Boston Public Library. The square will fully reopen to the public later this year. Sasaki has been working with the City of Boston to revitalize this city landmark to better support daily use and the many public events hosted throughout the year. From yearly Boston Marathon celebrations to weekly farmers’ markets, the new Copley Square will be more comfortable and functional, featuring ample shade and seating options and a renovated fountain.

Sasaki is collaborating with the City of Santa Monica and its community members to reimagine the Santa Monica Airport. The Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project (SMACP) aims to establish a preferred scenario, centered on a sustainable “Great Park,” following the airport's anticipated closure after the end of 2028. Converting the airport will not only enhance the public realm for people, but also benefit local flora and fauna—the renewed site will serve as an ecological stepping stone for local species, allowing them to adapt to new habitats as the climate changes. The team created a comprehensive, multi-layered site analysis, which was informed by in-person and online public engagement in Phases 1 & 2. By studying the site's historical context, existing conditions, and its connection to the urban and natural environment, the team equipped the community with the tools needed to envision the possibilities. This analysis also establishes a foundation for the City's sustainability initiatives, including meeting goals for onsite water treatment and material reuse to minimize embodied carbon. The feedback gathered through this engagement process will inform three possible scenarios that will be unveiled this spring in Phase 3.

Marta Guerra-Pastrián believes architecture is a practice of discovery. "I love not knowing what the best ideas are going to be in the beginning; as the process unfolds, they may come from unexpected places and people." From designing spaces for independent schools to reimagining cultural institutions, Marta thrives in moments of collaboration and complexity, turning challenges into opportunities to connect people. Marta believes in the “magic” of synthesizing complexity into clear, communicable ideas. Her process emphasizes listening to users, empowering communities, and creating spaces that inspire.

The first phase of Sasaki’s design for the Capitol Mall Design Framework in Minnesota has broken ground.🌲 This phase includes the Tribal Flag Plaza, a space dedicated to honoring the sovereignty and heritage of the 11 federally recognized Tribal Nations in the state. Over 14,000 Minnesotans contributed feedback to shape the future of the Capitol Mall, ensuring it reflects the diverse voices and histories of the state. Our work focuses on creating a welcoming environment for all Minnesotans, with impactful initiatives including: 188 new tree plantings on the Capitol Mall, a pedestrian plaza and street mural on Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, and the Tribal Flag Plaza, featuring flags of Minnesota’s Tribal Nations, sacred plantings, and spaces for reflection. This project represents a significant step toward recognizing Minnesota’s rich heritage and creating inclusive spaces for all.
