🌟Maya Lin broke barriers as an architect for the historic Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Lin created an abstract, apolitical monument that drew attention to individual sacrifices honoring service members of the U.S. armed forces who served in the Vietnam War.
🎖️Maya’s story of how she was chosen as the architect for the memorial is best summarized by her quote:
“Coincidentally a few weeks before I submitted the design one of my professors, Vincent Scully, described one of the World War I memorials. In his description he talked about it as a journey towards an awareness of loss.
I realized how close the experience he described was to my design for the Vietnam memorial—though formally they couldn’t have been more different. And I started writing about my design while still in his class; I hand wrote that essay directly onto the competition boards (you can still see typos) and sent in the project.”
🏆In 2009 she won the National Medal of Arts, the nation’s highest honor for artistic excellence. In 2016 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Barack Obama, the Nation’s highest Civilian Honor.

The iconic artist Maya Lin, with her @what_is_missing foundation, is sending a message to New Yorkers for Climate Week: we all have a part to play in saving the world.
In partnership with @jcdecauxna and @art2030org, Lin is taking over 100 NYC bus stops across all five boroughs with 20 original “What If?” climate posters.
After winning a blind contest to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. at age 21, Maya Lin became world-renowned for works exploring the relationship between humans and the environment.
What is Missing? is her fifth and final memorial, dedicated to the species and places lost due to climate change. As a proud New Yorker, Lin has explored this project with other installations, including “Ghost Forest,” a haunting exhibition of 49 Atlantic white cedar trees brought to Madison Square Park.
Look for Lin’s “What If?” posters throughout NYC until September 28.

یه چیز جاالب، خانم لین یه جایی گفتن که شاید من در 20 سال اول زندگی ام می خواستم تا حد ممکن آمریکایی باشم. در سنین بیست و سی، شروع به پی بردن به این موضوع کردم که هنر و معماری من تا چه حد از ویژگی های شرقی برخوردارند.
و درمورد بنای یادبود سربازان ویتنام ایده و کانسپت خیلی تاثیر گذاری داشتند به این صورت که سازگاری "بنای یادبود سربازان ویتنام با زمین و سازگاری زمین با بنای یادبود "نمایانگر یک روند التیام بخش است. و به همان گونه، بنای یادبود حقوق مدنی تمثیلی از التیام را ارائه می دهد: یک جریان آب که مانند اشک بر سنگ پرداخت شده ای که نام شهروندان جان باخته ی آمریکایی در راه مبارزه برای برابری بر آن نقش شده روان است. یک نماد جهانی زایش دوباره، جریان آب تجدید عهد بی پایان کشور را با وفاداری مردمش نسبت به آزادی و عدالت در بر می گیرد.
