Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I dont want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist. – Maya Lin

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. Thats art to me. – Maya Lin

In art or architecture your project is only done when you say its done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures. – Maya Lin
