The architect/artist I liked best from the videos we watched on Monday was Maya Lin. While part of the reason could be that I love skating and she was designing a (really cool) skating rink, I also liked that she has been able to make a living of doing what she wants on her own terms. She wanted to be both an artist and an architect and she has successfully made a living of combining the two and living the true definition of an architect. Lin knows that, as an artist, she needs to create a work of art that people will want to see on an everyday basis. However, she also knows that, as an architect, she needs to design something that will be functional and solve the problem at hand.
