Hip Hop Architecture Camp

August 1, 2020 @ 9:00 am - August 11, 2020 @ 11:00 am


Official 2019 Portland Hip Hop Architecture Camp Music Video

 

In partnership with the Hip Hop Architect and Founder, Michael Ford, the Hip Hop Architecture Camp is a one week intensive experience, designed to introduce underrepresented youth to architecture, urban planning, creative place making 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.

Camp participants 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.

COVID-19 has changed the way we work in architecture and it has changed the way we connect with the next generation of architects and designers! Because of this The Hip Hop Architecture Camp is moving to a digital experience this year from August 1-11, 2020.

The Hip Hop Architecture Camp is open to middle school and high school students.
