I’m mainly basing this on wishful thinking and projection, of course, but I have found at least one case to back my belief. DouglasPeterson-Hui is a recent Architecture graduateand a brilliant embodiment of my preconceptions of what it must mean to be an architect. He maintains a pair of blocky Volvos, along with a minimalist sensibility and a rather successful Instagram page: @thearchitectsgarage.
After completing his Master’s in Architecture in Toronto, Douglas returned to his native Vancouver to start into his career. COVID-19 had different plans for the job market in early 2020,however, and Douglas began scratching the creative itch with a foray into digital art. It was a journey that would carry him far beyond what he could have expected, however.
Hyundai is pumping a bunch of money into its U.S. plants, the United Auto Workers is imploring General Motors to “take the high road” with organization at its new battery factories, and despite what you may think, Aston Martin says you don’t need manuals anymore. All this and so much more in this Friday edition of The Morning Shift for May 14, 2021.
Like the Volvos he drives, Douglas’ enthusiasm for design centers around simplicity, practicality, and accessibility. He uses bold shadows, sharply-defined lines, and carefully-balanced palettes to distill cars and their settings into their most striking and recognizable forms. Selective use of detail minimizes clutter and directs attention to where it matters most, and deciding what makes the cut is a very deliberate balance.
Today, The Architect’s Garage is notable as much for its visual identity as it is for its diversity. Douglas’ style has broad appeal, and since opening himself up to commissions he has rendered everything from multimillion-dollar Porsches to malaise Pontiacs. It’s an art project that anyone who loves their car – any car, really – car can be a part of.

these officers because they violated internal policy, their department policy, doesn t necessarily mean that they committed a crime. but i do believe here, in this case, these officers have. all right. thank you, both, so much. after another, quick break. a hurdle to success. how requiring a degree to get a job makes it impossible for some americans, especially those from communities of color, to achieve the american dream. you will see an organization determined to change that, after this. this are you one of the millions of americans
