Although the construction of the mythical Fun Palace for Lea Valley (the well-known, award-winning older brother) was rejected in mid-1963, Cedric Price and Joan Littlewood had been looking for other locations in London and other British cities among which was a small abandoned lot and without existing planning in the neighborhood of Camden . Like the Fun Palace original, this prototype would serve a smaller scale to accommodate small arts and entertainment programs related to the district following the precepts of his older brother, flexibility and environmental control. In this case the equipment was a kit consisting of projection units, lightweight structures of noise protection, screening or equipped, lightweight floor panels, inflatable structures ... and a series of modular industrial modules compose different structures could be customized and fully colonized higher (First study of what would later become his praise GENERATOR). The building was therefore a combination of all these factors that also served as a union between two areas of major road network and the viaduct spanning communications also shot. The project, however, lacked funding but had popular support. Can be considered a germ of what would become the INTERACTION CENTER.
