	Obituary: Cedric Price \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Cedric Price, who has died aged 68, completed relatively little and never ran a large office, but his influence - through drawings, proposals, teaching and conversation - remains enormous.
		Price was born in Stone, Staffordshire, the son of the architect AJ Price, who worked on some of the great cinemas of that decade.
		Though he died in 1953, before his son went up to St John's College, Cambridge, to read architecture, Cedric was proud of his achievements, and delighted in referring to his technical manuals, latterly at least, as much for their value as social documents as for the quality of their advice.

	Potteries Thinkbelt
		Cedric Price grew up in the Potteries, and his mother was a direct descendant of Enoch Wood, who, as we’ve seen, was one of the founders of the Potteries.
		Price disliked the upper-class connotations of the word "university," complaining that these were little more than "medieval castles with power points, located in gentlemanly seclusion", which taught nothing in the way of applied science and technology.
		Price was able to obtain some of the first computer generated data from the Ministry of Labor on population and unemployment for North Staffordshire.

	Wiley::Cedric Price - The Square Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Cedric Price Architects was established in 1960 and this book features works from its early years - iconic projects such as The Fun Palace and Potteries Thinkbelt, built projects such as London Zoo's Aviary, and many less well-known schemes and writings.
		Price complied "as a favour" to his dear friends although he has always been resistant to the crystallisation of his work in book form, being more inclined towards the immediate and ephemeral nature of magazines and journals.
		Price states that "there is a point reached where if too much time is required to produce something its operational integrity is marred." This remark is central to Price's thesis that Time is the fourth dimension in architecture and that Change is its champion.

	Cedric Price / Architect (1934-2003) - Design/Designer Information
		Price – or CP, as he was called – was born at Stone in Staffordshire in 1934 to an architect father, AJ Price, who worked for the firm which built the Odeon cinema chain.
		Price redefined the role of the architect as an agent of change, whose main responsibility was to anticipate that, and offer new possibilities for society as a whole.
		Price’s desire for ‘Doubt, Delight and Change’ was clearly demonstrated in his 1984 proposal for the redevelopment of London’s South Bank.

	Columbia News ::: Architecture Exhibition Asks 'Can You Build an Anti-Building?'
		The exhibition includes documents on loan from the Cedric Price archive at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, which reveal an assault on social and architectural conventions, as well as conceptual sketches, design development and final drawings, selected from more than 500 drawings in the archive.
		Price and Littlewood worked on the project for five years during the 1960s, in a relentless, yet unsuccessful, campaign to get it built.
		"Cedric Price: The Fun Palace" was originally guest-curated by Wigley in collaboration with Shubert, as a section of "Out of the Box," a major exhibition at the CCA in 2003 curated by CCA Director Mirko Zardini.

		Cedric John Price, a visionary architect, died on Aug. 10 of a heart attack.
		The eldest son of architect A.G. Price, Cedric earned a diploma at the Architectural Association School in London.
		While he designed the steel and mesh aviary at the London Zoo, Price's ideas of creating a "university of the streets" and a mobile "higher education facility" failed to exist beyond his drawing board.

	Cedric Price - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From 1958 to 1964 he taught part-time at the AA and at the Council of Industrial Design.
		Having conceived the idea of using architecture and education as a way to drive economic redevelopment - notably in the north Staffordshire Potteries area (the 'Thinkbelt' project) - he continued to contribute to planning debates.
		In 1984 Price proposed the redevelopment of London's South Bank, and anticipated the London Eye by suggesting that a giant ferris wheel should be constructed by the River Thames.

		Cedric Price's proposal was to take the whole rusting and decaying industrial infrastructure of the Potteries, and turn it into a kind of High-Tech think-tank.
		This, of course, was right in the midst of the Brain Drain, and Price's idea was to break down the wall between "pure" and "applied" science and technology, lure the scientists back to Britain, and put England at the forefront of advanced technologies.
		Price worked the scheme out quite carefully, and it might well have worked.

		Cedric Price represents the struggle of architecture to give an answer to a complex world at the beginning of the 60's, Rem Koolhaas, more detached, shows a new schizophrenic nature of this complexity forty years later.
		The Fun Palace is organized as a basilica with a main nave and 2 aisles, where the transept is a moving gantry crane spanning over a system of 5 rows by 15 steel columns: the static axial composition embeds in itself the dynamic component that activates the flexibility of the spaces.
		Cedric Price tried to superimpose methodologies taken from the social utopia to a world that was indifferent to them but ultimately he failed.

		This is the latest exhibition of drawings by the visionary British architect Cedric Price whose projects push against the traditional physical limits of architectural space and map out the trajectories of time.
		Developed throughout the 1990s and occurring between urban spaces - incorporating stairways, walkways, elevators, arcades and piers - the function of these 'urban triggers' is not to occupy space, but to stimulate new patterns and situations of urban movement in the city.
		Price's conviction that buildings should be able to be adapted by the occupier to serve the needs of the moment reflect his belief that time - alongside breadth, length and height - is the fourth dimension of design.

		Cedric Price claimed that cooking is a good metaphor for architecture - a spontaneous and creative process in which design ideas can be developed, constructed and submitted to the user / consumer for approval in a single sitting.
		One of Britain's most influential architectural thinkers, Price inspired generations of architects with his radical conceptual approach.
		He argued against the production of confining, functional spaces and sought to analyse the motivations that might give rise to a structure in the first place.

		Cedric Price was born at Stone in Staffordshire in 1934 to an architect father, AJ Price, who worked for the firm which built the Odeon cinema chain.
