Editing Cedric Price (section)

== Career ==
After graduating, Price worked briefly for [[Erno Goldfinger]], [[Denys Lasdun]], the partnership of [[Maxwell Fry]] and [[Jane Drew]], and applied unsuccessfully for a post at [[London County Council]], working briefly as a professional illustrator before starting his own practice in 1960.<ref name="Indie" /> He worked with [[Lord Snowdon|The Earl of Snowdon]] and [[Frank Newby]] on the design of the [[Snowdon Aviary]] at [[London Zoo]] (1961).<ref name="UWestminster">{{cite web|title=The Architecture and Engineering of The Snowdon Aviary at London Zoo.|url=https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/w/images/1/11/Cedric_Price.pdf|publisher=University of Westminster, Department of Architecture|accessdate=6 October 2017}}</ref> He later also worked with [[Buckminster Fuller]] on the ''Claverton Dome''.

One of his more notable projects was the East London [[Fun Palaces|Fun Palace]] (1961),<ref name="Mathews">{{cite journal|last1=Mathews|first1=S|title=The Fun Palace as Virtual Architecture: Cedric Price and the Practices of Indeterminacy|journal=Journal of Architectural Education|date=11 January 2006|volume=59|pages=39–48|doi=10.1111/j.1531-314X.2006.00032.x|s2cid=110328304}}<!--|accessdate=18 April 2016--></ref> developed in association with theatrical director [[Joan Littlewood]] and [[Cybernetics|cybernetician]] [[Gordon Pask]].<ref name="DTelegraph" /> Although it was never built, its flexible space influenced other architects, notably [[Richard Rogers]] and [[Renzo Piano]] whose [[Centre Georges Pompidou]] in [[Paris]] extended many of Price's ideas – some of which Price used on a more modest scale in the [[Inter-Action Centre]] at [[Kentish Town]], [[London]] (1971).<ref name="gobit01" />

Having conceived the idea of using architecture and education as a way to drive economic redevelopment—notably in the north Staffordshire [[Stoke-on-Trent|Potteries]] area (the 'Think-Belt' project)—he continued to contribute to planning debates. Think-Belt (1963–66) envisaged the reuse of an abandoned railway line as a roving "higher education facility", re-establishing the Potteries as a centre of science and technology. Mobile classroom, laboratory and residential modules could be moved grouped and assembled as required.<ref name="DTelegraph">{{cite news|title=Cedric Price|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1438827/Cedric-Price.html|accessdate=18 April 2016|work=Daily Telegraph|date=15 August 2003}}</ref>

In 1969, with planner [[Sir]] [[Peter Hall (urbanist)|Peter Hall]] and the editor of ''New Society'' magazine [[Paul Barker (writer)|Paul Barker]], he published ''Non-plan'', a work challenging planning orthodoxy.

In 1984, Price proposed the redevelopment of London's [[South Bank]], and foresaw the [[London Eye]] by suggesting that a giant [[Ferris wheel]] should be constructed by the [[River Thames]].
