Interaction Center, 1972/1977, demolished 2003 - Cedric Price

“In 1976, he built a greatly reduced version of the Fun Palace in Kentish Town. Known as the InterAction Centre, this design incorporated many of the features and innovations of the Fun Palace, though on a smaller scale. The InterAction Centre resembled a “bargain basement” version of Centre Pompidou, and along with the Fun Palace, influenced Richard Roger’s designs.

“A framework with plug-in, readymade Portakabins used for offices, toilet rooms, and utility spaces, Price’s InterAction Centre incorporated many of the concepts and features of the ill-fated Fun Palace on a much-reduced scale. InterAction, renamed as InterChange, provided community services and creative outlets for local citizens until its demolition in 2003.“
