2019 Hip Hop Architecture Camps
(via HipHopArchitecture.com)
The Hip Hop Architecture Camp is a one-week intensive experience, designed to introduce underrepresented youth to architecture, urban planning, creative placemaking and economic development through the lens of hip hop culture. The Camp is based on the “4C’s” which are Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking. During the camp, students are paired with architects, urban planners, designers, community activists, and hip hop artists to create unique visions for their communities which include the creation of physical models, digital models and the creation of a Hip Hop Architecture track and music video summarizing their designs.
