Spotlight
One day, in Vincent Hui鈥檚 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, though鈥攖hey鈥檇 been working hard鈥攕o 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. 鈥淚 was humbled,鈥 Hui says. 鈥淚t was such a powerful reminder of the trust that parents and students place in me.鈥
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 Hui鈥檚 tutelage, his students have been involved in exciting projects鈥攆rom digital fabrication, to apps, to augmented reality. It鈥檚 the kind of innovative education that ensures there will be many more thank-you pizzas in Hui鈥檚 future. 鈥淚 should be the one buying,鈥 he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a privilege to teach these amazing young minds.鈥
