"Limitness" - Mike Ford

Michael Ford, known as the "Hip-Hop Architect", is an architect, designer, educator, and keynote speaker whose years of research, publications, and lectures seek to fuse his two passions, hip-hop culture, and architecture. In hip-hop architecture, Ford provides an alternative to the western canon in architecture and urban theory. This model not only celebrates diversity but also appeals to young people of color, encouraging them to join the profession and think critically about the built environment they live in.  Ford is a professor in the architecture program at Madison College and the founder of BrandNu Design. Ford was born and raised in Highland Park, Michigan, just outside of Detroit BrandNu Design http://brandnudesign.com/ [http://brandnudesign.com/]  HERMAN MILLER X MICHAEL FORD https://archinect.com/news/article/150245783/herman-miller-teams-up-with-hip-hop-architect-michael-ford [https://archinect.com/news/article/150245783/herman-miller-teams-up-with-hip-hop-architect-michael-ford] https://www.oprah.com/own-super-soul-sunday/the-hip-hop-architect [https://www.oprah.com/own-super-soul-sunday/the-hip-hop-architect] Hip Hop Architecture: The Post Occupancy Report of Modernism | Mike Ford | TEDxMadison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4J5Y_4_ddM [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4J5Y_4_ddM]  Did you know there are only 10 licensed Black Architects in The State of Wisconsin?
