ULI Charlotte hosted the Hip Hop Architecture Camp® on August 5-9, 2019 for middle and high school students. The camp is designed to introduce under represented 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”: Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking.

During the camp, the students 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.
