Research at Sasaki is a critical endeavor that advances our collective knowledge and helps to fuel creative innovation. From prototyping permeable pavers, to ethnographic field research, data visualization, and monitoring thermal efficiency in building envelopes, Sasaki promotes research at all levels. The exploration of new ideas is fundamental to our practice; we design better, together, when research is step one.
