I think more important than any single piece of work Cedric Price did is his overriding idea of what architecture should be and the influence this has had.
CP thought architecture should address social, environmental, and economic issues rather than being about a finite product or aesthetic. "Time is an absolute factor".
I've started to read Guattari's The Three Ecologies. He also promoted this idea that we should consider and deal with real issues rather than obsess over the idea of building as "object".
