Hideo Sasaki (1919-2000) was born in Reedley, California, studied landscape architecture at the University of Illinois, and graduated from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design in 1948. He worked briefly for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and then returned to teach at Harvard, where he was chairman of the department for ten years. Both in his academic career and in private practice, Sasaki established a new professional focus on collaboration of complementary design disciplines. Significant public landscapes include Greenacre Park (New York City), Constitution Plaza (Hartford, Connecticut), University of Colorado at Boulder, and the Christian Science Center (Boston). His legacy of a comprehensive and cooperative approach to planning and design is widespread in America and abroad.
Hunter Randolph (1907-1982) was born in Laredo, Texas, and attended Texas A&M University. In 1937, he moved to Puerto Rico with the U.S. Forest Service. While he specialized in residential landscaping, Randolph contributed to a wide variety of public, industrial, and commercial projects, including resorts and golf courses as well as corporate offices and public parks. Randolph’s work was seminal in the creation and design of the island-wide parkway, the Panoramic Route.
