Hip-Hop Architecture with Sekou Cooke of Syracuse University and Sekou Cooke Studio | Grid Disruption| Urban Culture | Graffiti | Art | Social Organization | Bottom-up Planning | #20

Summary: Hip-hop architecture. Is it a paradox? Or is it inevitable? On the one side: structured formality by necessity. On the other: a powerful counterculture defying formality. Sekou Cooke puts hip-hop within the historical context of other cultural movements and their influence on architecture. He suggests that as a dominant cultural movement of our generation, hip-hop is poised to produce its own architecture.
