About this Event
Hip Hop By Design: Celebrating a Decade of The Hip Hop Architecture Camp
Exhibit Reception, Monday, March 10 at 5:30 PM
On Display at the AD EX March 3 – April 24
Hip Hop By Design invites you to explore the impact of The Hip Hop Architecture Camp, a program that uses Hip Hop culture to introduce young people to architecture, design, and the built environment. Through student projects, professional works, and multimedia installations, the exhibition highlights how music, culture, and lived experience influence the design of cities and communities.
Learn about the influential work of Michael Ford, FAIA, NOMA, widely known as The Hip Hop Architect, and the program’s alumni, whose projects demonstrate how Hip Hop can function as both cultural expression and a design methodology shaping spaces, objects, and experiences.
Join us for a special Gallery Talk on Monday, March 10, for a closer look at the ideas and people behind the program. Michael Ford, FAIA, NOMA, will moderate a panel discussion featuring camp alumni and practitioners, who will share their experiences and the creative ways Hip Hop has informed their work in architecture and design.
Discover how culture, creativity, and community intersect to shape architecture and the built environment.
