Movie for Monday

Of the architects/artists, Maya Lin was clearly the most influential. I like how the idea of the ice rink came from the fact that the rapids were overflowing, and she organically came up with the idea to turn it into something functional. She was inspired to do the rings around the rink, after seeing the rings that water droplets made as they hit the water. Finally, I like the reference to astrology, in the sense that the rink mirrors the stars and constellations. Overall Maya Lin did a very good job of relating her art to nature.
