Description
Cedric Price Architects has been based in London since 1960 but the office's projects and proposals have been implemented around the world. Price resists all traditional architectural boundaries and prefers to delight in questioning the impact of time on the built environment. He approaches his subject with keenness and reserve, wit and seriousness, "action and inaction".
