Moshe Safdie donates his Habitat 67 apartment to McGill University


McGill-trained architect Moshe Safdie designed his iconic Habitat 67 for Montreal's hugely successful Expo 67 World Fair.  It was Safdie's first project and was seen by scores of international visitors. The architect is donating his personal unit at the brutalist-style housing complex and his professional archive to his Montreal alma mater. Link

I was a teenager living in Montreal back then and when I see photographs of the building I'm reminded of that bright, optimistic summer.

    ..."was seen by scores of international visitors". Wow. Talk about damning with faint praise. Hope that was a Typo.
