I learned about Mia Lin last year when another student researched this architect. I was struck by her work. She is famous for the Vietnam War Memorial and the Civil Rights Memorial. I really like the Civil Rights Memorial. It documents the history of the movement and has water flowing over it which is very symbolic for most people. The water for me represents peace, relaxation or a time to reflect. Now with our struggles with the middle east we seem to be back in a similar situation. I have included a photo of the Civil Rights Memorial.
