Week 2

I think Maya Lin is a good designer. At the beginning, she seems doesn't have idea about this project. She is struggling about desining the Memorial of Vietnam War Veterean Memorial. She put effort into it, and also research about the project, and also think about some problem, then solving it. One of the example, she figure out what's the meaning of her lecturer said about" If my brother died in that war, I don't want to go to the Memorial".

Maya Lin think about this project, and come up with a good designed Memorial Vietnam War Veteran Project, a triangle shaped. After a lot of consideration, she used the reflective material such as granite, I think this idea is very good, because it gives the user feeling about the representation of the reflective image. The design itself also use the power of name, because if someone remember of other person, the person, will know a memory about that person, It gives a feeling more rather than use a still photograph which telling just a specific event.

The other thing, the design of this memorial is more conveying the message of the people who sacrifice to their country, not just we lost a person. It give the relative of the person who died in war a proud feeling, rather than just a sad feeling
