2012: A Story to Tell
The visionary architect Cedric Price once imagined a 'Fun Palace' occupying the site now taken over by the 2012 Olympic park. The empty industrial landscapes of Hackney have been host to hundreds of projects over the decades, dreams of possible futures by residents, architects, writers, artists and politicians. A panel of speakers including Saskia Sassen, Will Self, Anna Minton and Stephen Gill, explores how the Olympic regeneration has frozen these dreams in time, while opening the doors to a new set of plans and hopes for East London.
