‘A statement about my favorite architect'

Maya Lin is one architect who has greatly influenced me. Her start is a little unusual—her extraordinary ambition and determination to achieve something bigger despite her lack of professional experience at a young age. An example of this is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Her work inspires me, a dialogue about art, architecture, and the human experience, showing that architecture is not just about buildings but about emotions and storytelling. Her focus on sustainability is especially inspiring in today's world.
