citilab - a post digital fun palace?
“In 1963, the British architect Cedric Price created the idea of a Fun
Palace. "Every town should have a space... where the latest
discoverings (sic) of engineering and science can provide an
environment for pleasure and discovery," he said. We need Fun Palaces
for the post-digital era.”
