Maya Lin : a biography

When she was an undergraduate student at Yale University, Maya Lin won the competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.  What became an iconic place of remembrance and healing, initially was greeted with vitriol, racial and sexist, directed at the designer.  Maya Lin went on to design other works, including the Civil Rights Memorial. Boundaries by Maya Lin and the DVD Maya Lin a strong clear vision are two additional resources. To see all of her work, visit the Maya Lin Studio.
