As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, Jonas Mekas (2000)
â 13th century Bible, an original handwritten copy (in Greek with its accents).
I am planning to study in japan in 3 years! How did you manage to go there and beside university expenses is it easy to live there? And how did you learn the language?
This has been sitting in my inbox for a while now, sorry to the inquirer. If you still need assistance, this would work better over e-mail. (minavdt at gmail dot com)
How do I become a successful architecture and design student?
I donât know that one can follow a formula for success - itâs partly an intuitive disicipline but the other part of it is really just honest hard work. The best frame of mind is to truly convince yourself that there is merit in absolutely everything that you work on. Even a project which doesnât necessarily interest you at face value can become very interesting very quickly when you can find a point of interest. Every project is an investigation of something, the application of a theory or hypothesis, a pure formal exploration, a material investigation, etc.Â
Find your angle. What interests you about x project? There is no failure in exploration, and youâll enjoy whatever it is that youâre doing.Â

hello, i cant make up my mind about what to study for my masters, im doing BArch now.... and i dont want to do MArch. im super confused.... what did yo u do ur MA in?
I didnât do an MA, Iâm doing an MArch. You should spend some time away from academia - do some reading, spend time with things that you find interest in. Soon enough a subject will call to you with such fervour that you cannot ignore it and you can pursue it then. But your question is disconcerting on some level - perhaps you should evaluate why it is that you would want to pursue graduate school?Â
Do you have a Facebook ? If not , how do you manage keeping in touch with people etc ?
Yes I have it - but I donât use it in any way except for the reason youâve cited.Â

Do you have a favourite American author?
Immediately, I think of Steinbeck. But Sylvia Plath was American, as was Fitzgerald and Kerouac. And Hemingway. Iâm inclined to include them.Â
There are probably others I canât think of right now.
Hey, I just discovered your Insta and Blog and I love it! I wanted to ask from where exactly you are (your home town) and if that what you are doing right now is your dream or did you dreamed of doing something else (I mean with architecture and so on) sorry for asking so much, but I'm just curious /.\
Hi, welcome - I grew up in southern Ontario. No, I did not dream of being an architect - it honestly just sort of happened. For a very long time I was absolutely sure that I was going to study physics and become an astronomer, and then there was a short period of time in between that and a fling with science where there was no doubt in my mind that I would be a geologist. To illustrate my point: at sixteen I could pick up rocks and minerals and classify them and their properties effortlessly (I was quite serious about it). In any case I like to think that today, perhaps my education has in many ways encompassed all of these subjects (even if superficially).Â

Packing, Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere (December, 2015)
â Image of packing to leave for Toronto, the tan leather carry-on bag was full of books.Â
âThere is a remarkably knowledgable old gentleman who has a huge stall of books which he sets up every weekend in front of the Porta del Popolo. I would visit perhaps three or four times a month over the course of my time here, and he would engage me in simple Italian conversation. Because of his grandfatherly nature, I was not shy to try my unrehearsed Italian with him. He encouraged me, and perhaps it was because of him I am speaking with some resolved confidence now, (it is the end of December, this year is 2015).
I purchased many books from him, some very interesting English texts on art and architecture, as well as an old book of Italian verse. I said goodbye to him today and he graciously gifted to me a beautiful early 20th century map of Rome.â

Hi Mina! I was wondering what firm you are currently working at (in Tokyo) and if you could please describe what it was like applying and then working in terms of language and culture barriers? Thank you!
This is an older question, there are a lot of this nature so Iâll answer them all here with this one. I feel more comfortable sharing this information since I am no longer employed there.
I was working for the architect Shigeru Ban (http://www.shigerubanarchitects.com/). It was relatively straightforward - I sent in my portfolio of works and my CV. There was some communication and a screening process, at the end of which I was offered a position. In terms of the job, it was the greatest experience I have ever had professionally in the field (coming from someone who has worked in/with more than 5 different studios). It is considered âinternationalâ (by Tokyo standards) so everyone speaks English to varying degrees and I did learn some Japanese language formalities before I went, to assist me with my meagre attempt at integration...which is the perfect segway to point out that yes, I stuck out like a sore thumb. Not only am I not asian by any standard, but I cover my hair, and then add that with my personal style, I mean, I was not really a subtle sight. Not to say I didnât enjoy the attention. The japanese people I encountered always approached with intrigue and curiosity, and loved hearing about my background. Itâs also sort of funny to note that Canada seemed to be in favour, and quite a popular exchange location with the Japanese people. The studio culture is not unlike what you hear about in the typical office of the âstarchitectâ.
im super inspired by you, and sort of look up to you, even though i dont know you!! its like, Allah really put respect for you in my heart. and youre quiet humble, but plsss, how can i be like youu, some tips advice???
Thatâs a really sweet message, thank-you. I think what you are referring to is an online persona which doesnât necessarily translate to real life. I am no role model. I always follow this by telling people that itâs detrimental to hold living breathing humans on a pedestal because they will continue to disappoint you and I as a result of the singular reason to which they cannot appeal to - the very fact that they are human. I am sure there are many people who donât necessarily like me (hopefully not too many haha) who would be happy to contradict you.Â
Sorry, this sounds pessimistic, thanks for the compliments. You should read Jane Eyre, a great novel by Charlotte BrontĂŤ. I think you would enjoy it.Â
Hey mina. What camera do u use?
These days I reach for my Voigtländer Bessa R4M Rangefinder, fitted with same brand Color-Skopar 21mm lens.
Your photos are brilliant!
I donât know that brilliant is the right word, but I tend to see things differently.

How do I keep my social media classy and not too personal. Basically like yours. :)) do you have a set of rules you follow ? Anything in mind while posting ?
Ask yourself:Â âwhy am I sharing this?â. Do the question honest justice, and if you hesitate, donât post it. At the end of the day, youâve answered your own question - stay removed. To be honest though, I donât really think about it. I use it mainly to share my work and hobbies so itâs inclined to be impersonal in that sense.
salaams! you probably get this alot... butt, are all your instagram pics taken by your phone? and which filter do you use, and how do you manage the color coordination etc etc, im sure you get what i mean by now!! im so impressed by you ^_^
Salam - thank-you. Yes, for the most part they are taken on my iPhone. There are some dslr and film photos, which I will usually note in the caption in some capacity. Normally Iâm not applying filters, just playing around with the instagram photo editor settings.Â
