Once Upon a Project

The Hip Hop Architect


Listen Later

Where hip-hop and design intersect, you’ll find Michael Ford. Learn what sparked the discovery of this seemingly unlikely connection and how a childhood interest in car design fueled an expansive, unique career for “The Hip Hop Architect.” Tune in as Ford, who also founded the Hip Hop Architecture Camp for underrepresented youth, dissects the intricate elements of hip-hop music and culture that inspire textiles, buildings, neighborhoods, and more. Tap into how Ford’s distinct perspective translates into product design through his award-winning carpet collection, Mike Ford + Shaw Contract.

This season of Once Upon A Project is presented by Shaw Contract.
