Summary:
The British architect Cedric Price (1934-2003) completed relatively few buildings, but through his drawings, proposals, teachings and conversations, he exerted an enormous influence across many disciplines. For Price, architecture was an instrument towards social and pedagogical growth, and not an aesthetic gesture in itself. His two most famous structures of the early 1960s, the Fun Palace (1961) and the Potteries Thinkbelt (1964) were both intended to foster social cohesion, and were executed as short-term structures. Hans Ulrich Obrist met the great visionary and architectural theorist several times between 1999 and his death in 2003, and spoke with him about his ideas and his most important projects.

Peu avant l'éclosion du Swinging London, du flying circus des Monty Python (1969-1974) et du contrôle cybernétique de la série Le Prisonnier (1967-1968), l'architecte Cedric Price (1934-2003) va, au début des sixties, initier deux projets culturels et éducatifs restés mythiques : le Fun Palace (1961-1965, non réalisé) et la Potteries Thinkbelt (1963-1967, non réalisé).(...)

Dans leur formalisme modulaire comme dans leur esprit très évolutif, le premier est imaginé comme « un grand chantier naval installé dans n'importe quelle zone industrielle », tandis que le second entend se substituer aux fabriques de porcelaine moribondes du Staffordshire. Dans leurs essais, S. Mathews et P. V. Aureli en déconstruisent la portée programmatique et la signification sociétale.

Summary:
British architect Cedric Price (1934–2003) had a lifelong fascination with the mechanization of society and its effect on people’s lives. In the 1960s and ’70s, Price began to look for answers to some of the pressing problems he saw in society in the tenets of architecture and design. His intense intellectual curiosity soon led him to other disciplines, including the social and natural sciences, while his sense of humor and self-irony—which also extended to his profession—allowed him to keep his ideas in perspective. With "The city and the architecture of change", Tanja Herdt offers a comprehensive look back at the life and work of Price. Based on extensive research, including previously unpublished materials, Herdt provides a thorough account of Price’s key architectural concepts and visions, and then analyzes his perspectives on the city as a system, the influence of products and contemporary culture on architecture, and the role of science and technology in architecture and design. Apart from providing new insights into Price’s well-known and studied projects, such as Fun Palace and Potteries Thinkbelt, Herdt also brings to light many lesser-known works from the 1970s like McAppy and The Generator. She concludes by refuting the common perception of Cedric Price as an “anti-architect.” Richly illustrated with plans and photographs, many of which have never been published before, "The city and the architecture of change" affords a glimpse into the mind of this highly creative and forward-thinking architect.
