Architecture : Habitat '67



Habitat was the major theme exhibition of the 1967 World Exposition in Montréal. 

As a demonstration, it pioneered the design and construction of three-dimensional prefabricated units of habitation. As an urban building type, Habitat sought to mix residential, commercial, and institutional uses to create a more vital neighborhood and provide the amenities of the single-family home in a form adaptable to high densities and constrained budgets. Habitat’s 365 construction modules connect to create 158 residences. These range in size from 600-square-foot one bedroom dwellings to 1800-square-foot four-bedroom dwellings. In all, there are 15 different housing types. Stepped back in their modular placement, each residence has its own roof garden. Houses at all levels are accessed by outdoor pedestrian streets that widen into play areas at numerous locations throughout the building....../
