"I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination."

Architecture
More From Maya Lin
- "Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don’t want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist."
- "Art is very tricky because it’s what you do for yourself. It’s much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture."
- "I started studying what the nature of a monument is and what a monument should be. And for the World War III memorial I designed a futile, almost terrifying passage that ends nowhere."
