Resumen
In a context of ecological crisis, one of the major challenges of architecture is to provide sustainable and enduring solutions. The challenge is even greater considering that contemporary societies are characterized by permanent transformation. In the 1960s, Cedric
Price designed the Fun Palace, a building which, conceived as a temporary event, became a referent from which lessons can be drawn to envision an ephemeral and enduring architecture. The aim of this article is to identify principles from the Fun Palace for a sustainable practice of the profession, resonating with the demands of the current ecological crisis.
