About
Sasaki, in collaboration with Barkow Leibinger, worked with Harvard University to design the new ArtLab—a cross-curriculum space for the arts, located on the school’s Allston campus. Designed to be curated and adapted by its users, the 9,000 square-foot space is available to students, teachers, visiting artists, and the broader community. The building serves as an activator for this part of the campus, while providing much needed overflow spaces for the arts in all of their diversity on campus.
