Abstract

The theoretical work of Dutch architect John Habraken (1928-2023) is an essential contribution to the discipline. Through research and teaching, his work has contributed to the understanding of the relationships and principles that order the built environment, questioning the inevitability of a homogeneous and preconceived urban form and promoting the development of design strategies in favour of an open and participatory architecture. The Short Works of John Habraken offers for the first time, and under a single title, a comprehensive overview of his intellectual output, revealing the depth and scope of his thought. Throughout the texts in this anthology, the reader will discover a highly suggestive thesis that connects the analytical observation of our environment with a proposal for implementation through methodologies and project systems.
