British architect Cedric Price has been one of the most challenging and witty provocateurs in the field, forcing us to look with a fresh eye at what architecture is and suggesting radical ideas of what it might be. Price’s work proposes a dynamic approach to architecture. Arguing that “movement is implicit, together with change, in the surrounding conditions,” Price stands against the production of permanent, specific spaces for particular functions, stressing the unpredictability of future use and the need for adaptability. He asks us to think about a built environment that anticipates unexpected social needs rather than accommodating those we think we know, that relishes the possibilities for re-use and obsolescence, and that explores the ways space can be constructed to participate in movement. At the same time, he is convinced that there are ways of gauging and responding to the apparent unpredictability of time and movement: “The speed of a total life span can be measured”, he adds. “The fourth dimension can thus be introduced to design.
