A week-long intensive experience is designed to empower youth to explore and excel in the fields of architecture, urban planning, and creative placemaking through the lens of hip-hop culture.
The Hip Hop Architecture Camp® is a revolutionary program founded in 2016 by Michael Ford (AIA, NOMA, NCARB), the esteemed licensed architect, and cultural trailblazer known as The Hip Hop Architect. Our program is based on the "4C's" - Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking - and brings together students with top industry professionals, including architects, urban planners, designers, community activists, and hip-hop artists. Together, they work to envision and create innovative designs for their own communities, using a range of mediums including physical models, digital models, and even their own original Hip Hop Architecture track and music video. Join us at The Hip Hop Architecture Camp® and discover the power of design to shape and uplift your community.
