anyone way to read the text? beautiful.
Maya Lin’s original competition submission for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Architectural drawings and a one page written summary. It was chosen from 1,421 entries submitted. (via 37signals)
Maya’s always been a minimalist, but what’s so striking about this is how minimal it really is - here, you only see the bare minimum of what you absolutely have to see to understand the concept, and nothing more. I find this laudable. As a side note, the choice of colors is fantastic.
