The research topic examines the architecture of Cedric Price and how it evolved during  the 60s and 70s in Britain. Through an analysis of three non-materialized projects, we will investigate the design methods he developed to propose a shift from an object-oriented architecture to the anti-architecture of experience and free participation.
Cedric Price is among the first architects who applied theories from the fields of cybernetics and systems analysis in architecture, in order to produce new forms of spatial organization. Diagrams, computer programs, networks and artificial intelligence are some of the tools he utilized, in order to create environments of exchange with the characteristics of open systems.
The technological approach to architectural design reflects the emergence of the Information era, and is due to the unstable social nature of postwar Britain. The effort of Cedric Price to incorporate the randomness of operations in a program, in order to encourage unpredictable behaviors and activities leads to the controversial idea of 'calculated uncertainty' : architecture provides a framework within which different decisions and wishes may be realized.
