YOYUU Creative is a creative agency that uses digital media to celebrate and promote a great awareness of designed environments for the architectural professional and beyond.
YOYUU Creative believes that film is the most effective tool to communicate the value of design because film transcends time, space, language, and culture. Offering professional services with those involved in the profession and education of architecture. YOYUU Creative bridges professional architectural ideas with public understanding through the production of short films featuring concept, process and finished work.
Mapping and designing an urban landscape is the conceptual and artistic genesis of a project, crafted by designers with a vision, in a room secluded from the public’s eye. This is a revered, yet clandestine process. YOYUU Creative is documenting the woefully overlooked and rigorous time between charrettes, breaking ground, development and the completed building’s unveiling.

A Celebration of 25 Years of the Black & Red.

The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts
On February 14, 1992, Hartford Hospital hosted its first Black & Red Ball. Benefiting babies with heart problems, the first Black & Red event more than doubled the organizing committee’s goal. Today, the hospital’s signature fundraiser is simply the Black & Red. The ball has become a gala, bringing nearly 1,200 guests to The Bushnell for a dynamic night of entertainment, dining, dancing, and honors. Since 2013 the event has raised $1 million each year for its chosen beneficiary . Over the past 25 years, $10 million has been raised. The growth of the gala is a direct reflection of the generosity of Hartford Hospital’s community and its dedication to the well-being of those we serve.
The history of Hartford Hospital is long and illustrious. Founded in 1854, it was the first hospital to be built in Hartford. An industrial explosion that killed or injured many people spurred the community to build the area’s first hospital, and from those early beginnings has grown to be the leading medical center in Hartford and one of the finest hospitals in New England
Tiny, circular “fishing floats,” attached to baited lines, bob on the water like wayward mini-beach balls. Plastic lawn chairs scrape against the concrete floor, as would-be fishermen shift and wait for the slightest tug. Tinny Mandarin music accompanies the bubbling of large water filters. But the most evocative sound reverberating through Taiwan’s catch-your-own shrimp bars is the sizzle of prawns on the grill.
