The Thinkbelt
The Cedric Price Network
The Thinkbelt aims to review Cedric Price’s work and pedagogies from a contemporary perspective. Born out of the Cedric Price Day in Staffordshire University in 2021 and now in its third iteration, the Thinkbelt will devise a series of events during 2024/25 hosted by schools of Architecture in the UK, and among these, a touring exhibition with two original prototypes of Price’s market stalls that are part of the Drawing Matter Collection alongside reproductions of archival materials from the Cedric Price Archive at the Canadian Centre for Architecture and other collections in UK.
A passion for creating sustainable spaces and innovative architecture pedagogies
The Thinkbelt aims to enhance the dissemination of Price’s work and actualise its interpretation by expanding the number of schools taking part in the network, by incorporating new materials from Price’s archives in each iteration, and by thinking with Price about situated pedagogical practices within each institution. This project will facilitate conversations towards the actualisation of the work of Price in forms of pedagogical practice that are innovative, inclusive and sustainable and that aim for global impact. Ultimately, the project aims to create a growing Thinkbelt in UK and beyond that celebrate Price’s anticipatory architecture.

“I feel that the real definition of architecture is that which though a natural distortion of time, place, and interval creates beneficial social conditions that hitherto were considered impossible’
