The Hip Hop
Architecture Program
Bergmeyer continued to develop our
relationship with architect Mike Ford –
who was both elevated to AIA Fellow and
awarded the AIA's 2026 Whitney M Young
Junior Award – and his ever more impactful
Hip Hop Architecture program. The Hip
Hop Architecture Camp® positions Hip
Hop culture as a catalyst to introduce
underrepresented youth to architecture,
urban planning, and design.
This year’s connection building included
Remix the Palette, a multi-city event
focused on reimagining how culture and
materials intersect. For every palette
submitted, Material Bank made a donation
to Hip Hop By Design, directly supporting
youth education through the Hip Hop
Architecture Camp.
