Habitat 67

栖息地67号是位于加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔圣劳伦斯河畔的一座社区建筑，由加拿大知名建筑师摩西·萨夫迪（Moshe Safdie）设计，由于其独一无二的外观而成为蒙特利尔的地标建筑，为世界上最奇特的建筑之一。

七扭八歪的Habitat 67号堪称公寓届天花板，造价贵、维护贵、租金贵[调皮]以色列裔建筑师Safdie的毕业设计作品，建于1960年代，高12层，共148套；理念是给每个人一个屋顶花园，新鲜流动的空气和最大化的自然采光.

habitat 67是蒙特利尔最有意思的景点，不过其实并不是景点，实际上是民居，内部并不开放参观，进去看了几眼就被保安赶出来了。

Habitat 67 is a famous recognized landmark in Montreal. It was designed by Moshe Safdie. The idea behind it was each apartment would have its own terrace but also it only shared just one or two walls. It was to provide the luxury of living in an apartment but also having a lot of privacy.

This pavilion is considered to be the main representative of the Expo ’67 theme, “Man and His World,” which strove for an improved relationship between humans and urban spaces. Habitat ’67 was based on Moshe Safdie’s socialist inspired approaches to urban planning and architecture. The model offered a solution to the question about how to improve the conditions of a dense urban living space: each of the 158 residences, or “boxes,” were placed in a criss-crossed way, so that each unit’s terrace was the rooftop of the unit below. One cluster of units overlook the St. Lawrence River (see photo), while the largest cluster face out onto Avenue Pierre Dupuy.

This peculiar residential structure visible from the promenade in the Vieux-Port was built for the Expo. Worth keeping an eye out for as you explore.

Habitat 67 is an interesting looking building with an interesting history.
