Cedric Price rips it up and starts again
What better way to start the new year, than with architectural anarchist and Fun Palace king Cedric Price ripping it up and starting again, talking about demolition in the early 1970s.
Against a backdrop of Denys Lasdun's National Theatre being completed on the South Bank, Price is interviewed about how modern buildings should be pulled down, and as could be expected, many of his ideas are playful, witty and reasonable sounding, while verging on bonkers.
Alongside Price there's a number of experts with marvellous spectacles and moustaches to chew over the tricky issues of how to demolish brutalist buildings and modernist skyscrapers in 20 to 40 years time – or now, I guess.
