Habitat '67 North Side
Nation : Canada
Pavilion Name : Habitat '67
Subject : Pavilion (Theme)
Island : Cité Du Havre
Description : North side of Habitat '67 complex alongside main road. Rooftop garden terrace in forground, Concordia Bridge in background.
Photographer's Notes : North side view from 11th floor.
General Description:
Habitat '67 was a radical housing solution for the 1960's. It was a high density alternative to the suburbs; an apartment structure (158 individual houses made up of one, two or three boxes) to service Expo '67 and then become low cost housing for the City of Montreal. An instant icon, the design of Habitat '67 embodied a strong vernacular influence as the expression of its parts formed a striking whole.
