Mina Chow, AIA NCARB is a licensed architect and interdisciplinary Adjunct Associate Professor at the USC School of Architecture where she teaches design, history, theory and practice, and principal of design/multi-media firm mc² SPACES. She is interested in expanding an awareness of design to the public realm, by bringing stories that reveal the process and creation of the built environment to film media; highlighting the humanity, passion and sacrifice of the process. The intent is to broaden the discourse about the essential nature of design. To show that it permeates throughout history, and it belongs to everyone. She recently completed “FACE OF A NATION: What Happened to the World’s Fair?” a documentary about the erosion of America’s international image in the loss of the World’s Fair dream. It is receiving national attention in news media and film festivals. Her awards include: 2014 Individual Grant for the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, grants from the California Architectural Foundation, USC Architectural Guild, USC US-China Institute and the USC Ambassador's Fund. She has created films for USC, and the national and local chapters of the American Institute of Architects. In 2012, she was on the award-winning U.S. Pavilion team "Spontaneous Interventions: Design Actions for the Common Good" at the Venice Architecture Biennale. She also created BRAVE NEW WORLD about innovative architecture in the city of Los Angeles.
