Spotlight
One day, in Vincent Huis first year as a Toronto Met professor, a woman carried a stack of pizzas into the studio. No one claimed them, so Hui assumed the delivery was a prank. His students were hungry, thoughtheyd been working hardso he reached for his wallet. The woman waved his money away. Her son was his student, she told him, and the food was a thank you for all that Hui had done for him and his classmates. I was humbled, Hui says. It was such a powerful reminder of the trust that parents and students place in me.
Hui takes that responsibility to heart. Known for his boundless energy, this multi-award-winning professor goes above and beyond to make sure his students have everything they need to excel. One of those things is advanced technology: how to integrate it with architecture to make our lives better. Under Huis tutelage, his students have been involved in exciting projectsfrom digital fabrication, to apps, to augmented reality. Its the kind of innovative education that ensures there will be many more thank-you pizzas in Huis future. I should be the one buying, he says. Its a privilege to teach these amazing young minds.
