Safdie Architects' Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art was featured in PIN-UP Magazine's 2024 Museum issue in the essay "Museum is Landscape". The text explores parallels between the first piece in Crystal Bridge's collection: Kindred Spirits, by Hudson River School painter Asher Brown Durand, and Safdie Architects' design for the museum.


"At Crystal Bridges, Safdie created a blueprint for architecture as a threshold between art and nature... Safdie's architecture updates the Hudson River School's viewpoint by imagining a museum that acknowledges nature's central role in the development of American culture."
