Riassunto

The Supercrit series revisits some of the most influential architectural projects of the recent past and examines their impact on the way we think and design today. Based on live studio debates between protagonists and critics, the books describe, explore and criticise these major projects.

This first book in the unprecedented series examines Cedric Price’s groundbreaking Potteries Thinkbelt project from the 1960s, an innovative high-tech educational facility in the North Staffordshire Potteries. Highly illustrated and with contemporary criticism, this is a book not to be missed!

In Cedric Price: Potteries Thinkbelt you can hear the architect’s project definition, see the drawings and join in the crit. This innovative and compelling book is an invaluable resource for any architecture student.
