The Thinkbelt seeks to deepen the impact of Price’s work through expanding participation among architecture schools, and to engage with Price’s ideas on site-specific pedagogy. The Thinkbelt highlights local architecture practices, encouraging dialogue between Schools and the profession and local and regional public bodies such as city councils. Through this platform, we aim to explore how Price’s work can shape a pedagogy that is inclusive, sustainable, and globally impactful, establishing an expanding Thinkbelt across the UK and beyond to celebrate Price’s anticipatory approach to architecture.
