Habitat 67, I was 8 years old when I first saw Habitat 67 at Expo 67, being from a little village in Ontario I could not believe what I was seeing, it was extraordinary and still is. Habitat 67 has stood the test of time, when a unit comes up for sale which is rare I spend imagining how amazing it would be to live there. Mr. Safdie, Thanks for sharing your gift.
An outstanding, most interesting interview. Moshe Safdie's point about architects needing to approach their work from the perspective of those who will actually live or work in the structure is well made but, unfortunately, not always the case. Love his ideas about gardens becoming part of living and work spaces!
