At Harvard's department of landscape architecture this shift was evident in the emphasis on team teaching and group projects. The sequence of studies was divided into eight-week quarters, taught by a small core faculty and many guests, including specialists from other schools and colleagues from Sasaki's practice. The department's limited funds induced Sasaki to keep a flow of expertise moving from his office to the school and back again. It was a remarkable symbiosis, recalled Professor Charles W. Harris, Sasaki's successor at Harvard.
