The latter is more expensive and may be found in a University library. “from Agit-Prop to Free Space: The Architecture of Cedric Price” by Stanley Mathews is a book I used to look at Cedric Price, as well as his Square book.

I was just wondering where you got that information/quote from - particularly the part about fireworks, as I haven't been able to find it written anywhere else yet. thanks! negin hey ruairi!

His 1960s ‘Fun Palace’ was an enormous flexible environment for infinite possible events to occur in. Fun Palace was based on a constantly varying design for a new form of leisure center. Aesthetically it looks like a factory but was designed for the public to play around and engage with the architecture. It was an improvisational architecture in which common citizens could entertain and educate themselves by assembling their own environments using cranes and prefabricated modules. “Choose what you want to do - or watch someone else doing it. Learn how to handle tools, paint, babies, machinery, or just listen to your favourite tune. Dance, talk or be lifted up to where you can see how other people make things work. Sit out over space with a drink and tune in to what’s happening elsewhere in the city. Try starting a riot or beginning a painting - or just lie back and stare at the sky” (Cedric Price on Fun Palace) - how inspiring.
