Dallas-based global architecture and design firm Corgan partnered with The Hip Hop Architecture Camp to introduce youth from underrepresented communities in Dallas to architecture, urban planning, and design using Hip Hop culture as a catalyst.

Corgan said that during the camp, which took place June 24-28, students created designs to potentially be integrated into a facility at Southern Gateway Park, a deck park being built over I-35E near the Dallas Zoo and historic Oak Cliff.

The camp, founded by architect Michael Ford of BrandNu Design Studio in 2016, is a national program that brings students together with architects, urban planners, designers, community activists, and hip-hop artists.

Students work together to create innovative designs for their local communities using various media, including physical models, digital models, and even a Hip Hop Architecture Camp track and music video.
