N. John Habraken visited the School of Architecture in Barcelona (ETSAB-UPC) in April 2008, from the 18th to the 25th, and directed a workshop as part of the Master's program Laboratorio de la vivienda del siglo XXI sponsored by the Fundació Politø¨cnica de Catalunya. He was assisted by the Puerto Rican architect Andrés Mignucci. For the fourth edition of the Master, Habraken's visit constitutes a milestone. The key concepts put forward by the Laboratorio coincide with Supports theory: flexibility in mass housing, user participation, and appropriate use of technologies as applied to construction.
