Sasaki 与Sasaki基金会打造的“Incubator at Sasaki” (Sasaki创意孵化器) 隆重开幕。位于Sasaki麻州总部的Incubator将成为连接学术研究和专业实践的平台,鼓励公司内外的研究人员在此进行创意交流,就设计建成环境时所面对的种种复杂问题,例如提升环境抗灾力、增强移动性与创造公平社会等寻求解决方案。
Incubator at Sasaki为各家合作的研究和创新单位以及Sasaki庞大的设计资源之间创造联系桥梁,逾460平方米的场地集研究工作室和共享工作空间于一体,用途灵活多样。Incubator的位址昔日曾是旧纺织厂用地(Chase Mills),象征Sasaki承袭其持续创造的精神及对跨界设计和研究工作投入更多开放资源的决心。
The Sasaki Foundation’s tagline is “The Power of Design Belongs to All of Us” and the impact the Incubator has made in embedding this ethos into Sasaki’s firm culture is invaluable
A custom acrylic screen, generated using the firm’s own design and fabrication technologies, anchors the center gathering space and provides privacy for the two huddle rooms behind it
The renovation celebrates the building’s century-long history as a place of creative production by balancing the rustic heavy timber and brick interior with a fresh new palette of contemporary interventions
宽敞明亮的孵化器和这一栋旧厂房建筑彼此衬托,演绎新旧交融之美。恰如教堂大殿、方正规矩的场地在左右两侧设置工作台,满足个人和团队使用需求。中央休憩区借由高窗获得自然采光,这里摆放了色彩缤纷、组合多样的家具,为休闲、阅读和大型公众会议等活动提供足够灵活性。
Sasaki partnered with the Sasaki Foundation to co-create the Incubator at Sasaki: a first of its kind open-source working lab, meeting place, and forum for cross-industry collaboration
The modular furniture can be rearranged to accommodate a variety of functions from casual working, reading, and socializing to hosting large public meetings, presentations, performances, and lectures
The sunlit center of the space\ is incredibly flexible for small teams or large, office-wide gatherings
Open workstations flank both sides of the space for heads-down individual tasks and team-driven projects
The Incubator has become the firm’s main gathering space where major meetings and celebrations are held

Since its opening in April of 2018 the Incubator at Sasaki has been host to over 2,000 passionate innovators, researchers, and designers tackling a broad range of topics such as social justice, affordable housing, mobility and transportation, climate change and resilience, sustainable food systems, design technologies, hackathons, and STEM education
鲜亮夺目、突破传统的创意孵化空间如同有效的催化剂促成跨产业合作,使学术、行业和社会伙伴聚首一堂,应对现代社会迫在眉睫的挑战。
This vibrant and dynamic space is meant to make all visitors feel welcome, safe to make their voices heard, and to have the freedom to modify the space as they see fit
The Foundation’s events and programs have sparked broad employee engagement and together with the firm’s employee research grants program and public service opportunities, has generated a growing passion for mission-based design, entrepreneurialism, and interdisciplinary collaboration
The Incubator at Sasaki is an exceptional project because of the way it inspires designers of all kinds to leverage their skills to proactively make a difference in the world
