Maryann Thompson is associated in Columbus, Indiana, with the Bartholomew County Memorial for Veterans, dedicated in 1997 after Thompson and Rose Architects won an invited design competition. Created with Charles Rose, the memorial uses a grid of twenty-five Indiana limestone pillars to create a place of remembrance that is at once monumental and intimate. Thompson is known for architecture that joins careful spatial composition with a strong sensitivity to landscape, light, and material. She studied at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, earning master’s degrees in both architecture and landscape architecture, and later taught at both Harvard and MIT.
