Abstract: This paper explores the second issue of the *Blue Cover Booklet Series* of *Open House*, featuring Professor M.J. Granpré Molière’s review of John Habraken’s *Supports, an Alternative to Mass Housing*. The review addresses the challenges of mass housing and proposes more flexible, participatory models. It highlights the socio-architectural implications of mass housing, emphasizing the shift towards user-involvement in design. The paper situates these discussions within the context of Eindhoven, Netherlands, illustrating how local architectural practices align with Habraken’s ideas and Granpré Molière’s critique of traditional housing systems.
