Cedric Price was one of the most visionary architects of the late twentieth century, taking a playful, interactive approach to his projects that was wholly lateral and completely unconventional. He dealt with variable structures; creating works involving mobile classrooms running along rail tracks and prefab studios connected by cranes. His permanent and temporary structures have included The Fun Palace, Potteries Thinkbelt and the Magnets, and have influenced such architects and artists as Richard Rogers, Rem Koolhaas and Rachel Whiteread. From Agit-Prop to Free Space is the only authoritative text on Cedric Price's work. It is the result of extensive and exhaustive research based on vast quantities of unpublished archive material, including letters, memos, notes, drawings and recordings. With previously unpublished illustrations and an accessible text, a portrait is painted of a true radical, who overturned conventional ideas of what architecture means, and had a massive impact on the architectural landscape. The broad spectrum of disciplines that Price engages with means that this timely publication will appeal not only to architects but to those involved in art, politics, science and culture. From Agit-Prop to Free Space is the first of two volumes devoted to the work of Cedric Price.
