Since its founding in 1967, the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art has been dedicated to integrating art with land conservation. Through this expansion, the institution hopes to increase its annual visitation of 100,000 by 20%.

Kengo Kuma & Associates will design a series of buildings with sloping roofs, drawing inspiration from the forested landscape surrounding the museum. Field Operations will be responsible for the landscape design, and Schwartz/Silver Architects will work closely with Kengo Kuma & Associates to form the design team.

The project will expand the campus area from 15 acres to 325 acres, with the new buildings integrated into the existing forest landscape. The design language of the sloping roofs echoes the surrounding natural topography, embodying the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art's long-held philosophy of combining art with land conservation.
