Biography
Cedric Price was an English architect, writer, educator, and together with Reyner Banham and Colin Rowe, represented a pillar of British architectural theory in the second half of the 20th century. He came from a family of architects. He studied architecture in 1955 at St John's College in Cambridge and the Architectural Association (AA) in London, where he was influenced by the ideas of modernist architect and urban planner Arthur Korn. From 1958 to 1964, he taught part-time at the AA and later founded a network of architecture schools called Polyark. He wished to place architecture “in the service of the joys and uncertainties of life” and imagined it to be as changeable as the society it seeks to serve.
