Description
Cedric Price has claimed that cooking is a good metaphor for architecture, where design ideas can be developed, constructed and given accurate user feedback within a single sitting. This is a collection of some of his finest architectural recipes in the first publication on his work for almost 20 years.
One of Britains most influential architectural thinkers, Price has inspired many generations of architects. Among his realised projects are the Interaction Trust Community Centre, London, the Olympic Information Complex for the Munich Olympic Village and an aviary for London Zoo, designed with Lord Snowdon and Frank Newby in 1961. Prices reputation and influence rest equally, however, on the radicalism of his ideas. He argues against the production of permanent, specific spaces for particular functions and seeks to analyse the motivations that might give rise to a structure in the first place. Technology is the answer, he has said, but what was the question? 'Re:CP' contains a selection of Prices inimitable writings and drawings, as well as contributions from Arata Isozaki, Patrick Keiller and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
