1957,sits at the middle of Washington Square
Village.
• The garden and residential towers make up
one of two superblocks, a controversial
urban design initiative that was led by Robert
Moses and originally part of the Mayor’s
Committee on Slum Clearance project.
• The superblock in which the Sasaki Garden
is located was purchased by NYU in 1964.
WASHINGTON SQUARE VILLAGE (SASAKI
GARDENS)
The WSV complex is said to be designed in
the Le Corbusier style.
Hideo Sasaki’s partner on the WSV Sasaki
Garden project was Peter Walker of Peter
Walker Partners, the landscape
architecture firm that designed the World
Trade Center (WTC) 911 Memorial.
The WSV Sasaki garden was “one of the
first rooftop gardens covering a parking
garage in the country”. The Sasaki garden
is 1.5 acres. It has been described as “an
excellent example of a successful
integration of landscape and hardscape in
an urban setting”

• SASAKI is a 1.5 acre roof garden above the underground parking between
the two apartments, which is the tower in the park in a standard park.
• The roof garden has successfully integrated urban space and neighborhood
parks.
• Sasaki uses a variety of tree species in the atrium, including Japanese ash
tree, weeping cherry, willow, sycamore, azalea, cypress, etc., to provide
seasonal colors and bird arrivals.
• At the same time, the planting and planting troughs of trees also provide
seats at the same time. In addition to shaping the space, it also becomes a
place where community residents interact with each other.
• The village of Washington Square was later acquired by New York University
due to poor operations. Today, the Atrium Garden is called Sasaki Garden
• The WSV Garden is a privately owned public open space is elevated
because of the garage below. It is accessible by several staircases and one
ramp. Because the garden is not at grade, passersby are deterred from
using it. It "reads" private. There are no signs that encourage entering the
garden. But it is well used by those who know its public nature. It is a
"nature-ful" alternative to area playgrounds.
• This block was designed to create an
isolated urban space for its residents. As
Ellen Jouret-Epstein writes, “you feel
that the buildings have turned their back
on the street. But, walk inside, and you
find a secret garden.
• "The garden and the architecture of the
building (designed by Paul Lester
Weiner) was developed together to
create a harmonious central green
space to be enjoyed by the local
community.

• One of the defining design elements of the park is
the crab apple tree bosquet with concrete
planters that form benches.
• The use of materials and structural design of the
garden display the influence of modernist
architecture of the time.
• At the time of its construction, the garden was
also an innovation in roof-top green spaces as it
sits four feet above ground level on top of a 670-
car parking garage.
• Another charming element that is from the original design of the
garden are the globe light fixtures.
• Much has changed since 1959, plants have died and have been
removed. Other lighting elements have been taken out (as you can
see from the empty concrete and metal bases) and the park’s
fountain has gone into disrepair. But, the cultural and historical
significance of the garden still remains.
• It is a historical monument to modernist design and the integration
of green space in urban planning during the 1950s. It is also an
integral part of the daily lives of the local community.
