Cedric Price: This sarcastic dandy was the first to claim, against formalist composition, that “the
quality of air conditioning is more important than the shape of a
building”.

This statement changed my life and tore down the sandcastles of the Modern Movement. In his unrealised Fun Palace planned in 1961, Cedric Price envisaged an architecture with no image, such as a shipyard made of beams, pulleys, ropes, and a sailing ship that waits to be launched into a sea where architecture is finally freed from itself.

I have always had the impression that British society developed around the logic of a fleet, rejecting
unnecessary loads and careful of where the wind is blowing.
