The Fun Lab project is inspired by Cedric Price's Fun Palace, designed to provide a space with facilities but no specific purpose, allowing users to interpret and use the space freely, without constraints. The design included small areas for dancing, music, drama, and fireworks, with a flexible steel framework that could be easily manipulated, creating "plug-in programmable spaces."
The Fun Lab focuses on design development, incorporating site analysis, special effects, manifesto, technology, concept, and research. The goal is to create a space that promotes creativity, innovation, and user engagement through adaptable and interactive elements.
The manifesto behind the Fun Lab emphasizes freedom, creativity, and versatility. It aims to break away from traditional design norms and offer a dynamic environment where users can explore their interests, collaborate with others, and express themselves without limitations.
