Maya Ying Lin (born October 5, 1959) is an American designer, architect, and artist who works in sculpture and land art.
She achieved national recognition at the age of 21 while still an undergraduate at Yale University, when her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
was chosen in a national competition.
It is considered one of the most influential memorials of the post-World War II period. Lin has designed other memorials and numerous public and private buildings, landscape design, and sculpture.
Although Lin's most well known sculptures and architectural work are historical memorials, she also honors nature through her environmentally themed works.
In creating works which deal with the environment in decline, Lin aims to raise awareness for the environment for audiences in urban spaces.
