Sasaki worked with the State of Minnesota's Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board to reimagine the Minnesota State Capitol District. The Capitol Mall Design Framework, based on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, introduces 8 Big Ideas to reshape this historic area into a more accessible, inclusive, and vibrant space for all Minnesotans. 🌳 Through a rigorous community engagement process involving over 14,000 voices, Sasaki worked with state, county, and community leaders to envision a Capitol Mall that represents the state’s rich cultural diversity. By bridging past and future, the plan creates spaces for work, play, and civic life while respecting the legacy of Wabasha Hill and connecting seamlessly to downtown St. Paul. The framework paves the way for new programming, ADA-compliant facilities, and sustainable infrastructure that makes this iconic site More Welcoming for More Minnesotans.

The Power of a Transformative Idea Sasaki has created a true common ground at the University of Lima where students, faculty, and visitors converge. Our architectural approach focuses on porosity to invite the public realm in. I recently visited the University after our campus framework plan was completed in 2018. Together with my colleague Pablo Savid-Buteler, we outlined a vision for the evolution and growth of the campus for the next 10 years. https://lnkd.in/eKezHvH3 A strong example of Sasaki’s planning-to-built approach, the dynamic campus is now contributing to unprecedented student growth. The response from the university community has exceeded expectations—students aren’t just attending class; they’re embracing the entire campus experience. Seeing the University of Lima come to life as a vibrant, 21st-century campus has been incredibly rewarding. It’s a testament to what’s possible when thoughtful design connects people, place, and purpose. #CampusDesign #UrbanDesign #UniversityCities #Architecture #Sasaki

🚀 Expedition at TEC Monterrey: A New Era of Innovation The Expedition Building at Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey is nearing completion, and it’s set to redefine urban regeneration and academic innovation in Latin America! 🌎 As the first project realized under Sasaki’s Urban Regeneration Plan for TEC, this multidisciplinary space will foster collaboration between students, industry professionals, and the greater Monterrey community, tackling the most pressing local and global challenges. Positioned at a key gateway along Av. Eugenio Garza Sada, the building is designed to invite exploration through small atriums, creating “hop-scotch” moments of connection across its levels. Public spaces like cafes, incubators, and maker spaces welcome visitors, while private research spaces fuel knowledge generation. Stay tuned as TEC Monterrey rises as a global leader in education and innovation! 🌐 https://lnkd.in/eBTt2ZAp #Architecture #UrbanRegeneration #InnovationDistrict #HigherEducation #DesignExcellence #TECMonterrey #Sasaki
