At 4Pens.com, we value the intersections of history, innovation, and craftsmanship, which is why we’re thrilled to share a video featuring our CEO’s reflections on the iconic Serpentine Walls at the University of Virginia. As an engineering enthusiast, our CEO highlights the ingenious single-layer brick design that makes these walls both structurally sound and visually stunning.

Designed by Thomas Jefferson as part of the Academical Village, the walls reflect a rich history, including their construction by enslaved laborers and later restoration efforts by the Garden Club of Virginia in 1952. These walls are more than just a feat of engineering—they represent a complex narrative that continues to inspire meaningful conversations about innovation and history.

Watch the full video to uncover the secrets of this architectural masterpiece and learn how the Serpentine Walls connect the past, present, and future.
