Icon "It is for architects to move beyond the self-conscious set pieces and to devise, as in the best music scores, gaps of uncertainty in which the individual can participate." Cedric Price, Re:CP Through Cedric Price's sketches, a kind of shorthand writing (probably done with one of his fountain pens and his rubber stamp) and through a series of provocative projects, Cedric Price influenced the work of a wide range of architects like Archigram, Rogers, Fosters and Alsop, as well as Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi and many others. In the 1960s his aviary became an icon for the London Zoo, while his Fun Palace project was an icon for a new type of open, moveable, adjustable space. In the 1990s the London Eye became an icon for the new millennium and for the redevelopment of the South Bank, which was initiated by the ideas of Price in order to "bring about a major rejuvenation". Within this unit we investigate three iconic themes/gaps of the work of Cedric Price and re-interpret them from a new point of view.
