HABITAT 67 Habitat 67 was an experiment in apartment living. This huge living complex was built in 1967 for Expo 67.
It looks like an exciting piece of Cubist sculpture.
Some people think, that gray exterior looks as if nobody lived there.

LOCATION Habitat 67 is located on
the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
It is far from the rest of Montreal's business and neighborhoods, so is private, peaceful and quiet.

DESIGNERHabitat 67 was designed by Canadian architect
Moshe Safdie.
He wanted to make better and cheaper
housing for the masses, the 3-D city in the sky with 1000 housing units, shops
and school.

Now, there are only apartments, without shops and a school.
Small city, instead became
a hugely expensive apartment building

INSIDE THE COMPLEX There are 158 apartments formed from 354
standard cube modules combined in a variety of interesting ways.
Inside the complex are plastic streets, connecting the apartments with the elevators and parking lots.
Each one apartment has at least one garden terrace on the rooftop of a unit below.
