"Fun Palace is Cedric Price's most celebrated work. Whether characterised as a giant toy or as a building-sized transformable machine, the project's interest resides in its radical reliance on structure and technology, its exemplification of notions of time-based and anticipatory architecture. With Fun Palace, Price addressed social and political issues that go far beyond the typical bounds of architecture."

"One of his more famous projects was the Fun Palace (1961), developed in association with theatrical director Joan Littlewood. Although it was never built, its flexible space influenced other architects, notably Richard (now Lord) Rogers and Renzo Piano whose Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris extended many of Price's ideas - some of which Price used on a more modest scale in the Inter-Action Centre at Kentish Town, London (1971)."

"The Fun Palace was conceived by Cedric Price and Theater Director Joan Littlewood as a laboratory of fun and a university of the streets that was not driven by an economic agenda. It was to be located in the Lea Valley in London's city core. The initial source of inspiration was to re-invent the 18th century Vauxhall Gardens under an all-weather roof."

The company experimented with physical approaches to characterisation, drawing on the work of Rudolf Laban, and drew many of their actors from non-theatrical backgrounds."
