Ralph Swain came to NYC to save his uncle's landscape and garden masterpiece at the Washington Square Village Sasaki Gardens.
He has testified to the contribution his uncle, Hideo Sasaki, has created at this NYU super block for community needs as a signature public works project.
NYU is currently seeking the New York City Council approval to destroy this garden landscape for the construction of two massive skyscrapers.
