Abstract

A revision of John Habraken’s Support and Infill theory takesus to celebrate his conceptual frame to understand housing,dissociating the individual unit from the overall structure.However, the text discusses if the current shortage of housingin emerging countries should force a turn in the debate,and analyze the incorporation of diverse production systems(progressive development, for example) rather than concentratein a typological discussion.
