The Hip Hop Architecture Camp™ Music Video for "Push, Slide, Pause" By: The Hip Hop Architecture Camp Camp Location: Huston - Tillotson University Song Produced by: Syx Synce (http://notesfornotes.org/austin/) website: www.hiphoparchitecture.com The Hip Hop Architecture Camp™ is a one week intensive experience, designed to introduce under represented youth to architecture, urban planning, creative place making and economic development through the lens of hip hop culture.
"From Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five rapping in their 1982 classic “New York New York” about “Staring at a skyscraper reaching into heaven / When over in the ghetto I’m livin’ in hell,” to Jay Z rhyming on 2017’s “Marcy Me” that “I’m from Marcy Houses, where the boys die by the thousand,” hip-hop has always had an intimate relationship with the architecture of cities. But what if the low-income youth of color who live in the ghettos and housing projects of Gotham — or Los Angeles or Detroit — had the technical know-how to redesign their hometowns and create buildings that serve their communities?
Architect Magazine features The Hip Hop Architecture Camp.
The Hip Hop Architecture Camp was held every Saturday in the month of February, in Madison Wisconsin. The camp was sponsored by The City of Madison's Planning Department, Capital Area Regional Planning Commission, Madison Public Library, Madison College and University of Wisconsin School of Education and focused on allowing the youth to participate in the creation of Madison's comprehensive plan, which looks 20 years into the future planning of The City.
