    Interesting architecture. You can only visit from outside unless you register for a guided tour, though it's still a nice experience to stop by and embrace the structure.

    I don't care much about the building, but it appears on one of the greatest albums of all time, Velocity : Design : Comfort by Sweet Trip, so this has to be 5 stars

    Going past this at 5 years old on my way to Expo '67 was about as impressive as impressive gets. I can't remember a time that I didn't want to live there.

    A revolutionary housing scheme built from prefabricated concrete modules to celebrate Canada’s centennial.

    This extraordinary housing complex beside the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal, Canada, began life as a master’s thesis by the Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie (1938–). Safdie’s academic advisor at McGill University later asked him to develop his plans for the forthcoming Expo 67, the world’s fair being held to celebrate Canada’s centennial as an independent nation.

    Linked modules.
    Habitat 67 reaches up to 12 stories in height. It consists of 354 identical prefabricated concrete boxes arranged in various combinations to make 146 residences, each made up of one to eight linked boxes. The initial models of the project were built using LEGO® bricks in order to visualize how the finished building would look in three dimensions. Originally built as low-cost housing, Habitat has become a highly desirable residence. However, it failed to give rise to similar prefabricated buildings elsewhere, as its designer originally intended, nor did it revolutionize affordable housing for the masses.
