As anyone who has visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial might attest, it is a moving and reverent experience. It is made all the more special to me knowing the story of its designer, Maya Lin. Jeanne Harvey brings Lin’s story together from her time as a young girl, designing and building through to college studying great buildings all around the world. I love a stunning story and Maya Lin stunned the judges of the contest to create the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Now, could we think of anything better? It is a beautiful monument to the sacrifice and the remembrance. Dow Phumiruk’s soft palette brings light and lines to the illustrations of Maya Lin’s life and legacy.
