This course-brief picks up the theme of earlier Quiet Rise of the Low Rise (QRLR) work broadening the theme to look at the legacy of Low Rise/High-Density (LR/HD) housing in Norway from the ‘60s to the present day. The course opens with new archival material from the mid ‘60s courses taught by Professor Herman Krag at NTNU, Trondheim, and early LR/HD projects such as Øvre Ullern Terrace, west Oslo and low rise atrium houses at Hamar (Arkitim). The course will explore the works of earlier students and Norwegian and international architects´practises in the 1960-1980s to understand the development of terraced, atrium-plan and other housing in Norway within the international context to which this belongs. Bringing the dutch architect John Habraken´s publication Supports. An Alternative to Mass Housing (1972) to light, the course will also try to answer why these typologies on one hand were discontinued, but still have relevance in a contemporary context.  Current projects such as LPO’s Lachmannsvei and the renaissance in diverse housing types in London in recent years as documented by New London Architecture, will be studied. Aspects of the course will include the planning and institutional challenges inherent in building such typologies, the current resurgence of interest in alternatives to the block and leave the students with some of the tools needed to contribute to new and interesting housing types in the future.
