In 1967, Moshe Safdie reimagined the monolithic apartment building, creating “Habitat ’67,” which gave each unit an unprecedented sense of openness. Nearly 50 years later, he believes the need for this type of building is greater than ever. In this short talk, Safdie surveys a range of projects that do away with the high-rise and let light permeate into densely-packed cities.

We’re investing in one of his units..Montreal the Habitat 67 has a waiting list STILL in 2019!
unique design
awesomeeee
I´m not sure..to me this looks like Le Corbusier´s Paris Plan 2.0
Has anyone seen the spy film Kingsman? With Colin Firth, Samuel Jackson & Michael Caine in action? It was about ‘controlling’ population. The point is, even someone as powerful as Putin cannot stop everyone from having more than 2 kids. What we cannot do, we cannot moan. Now here’s a guy showing us, 1 thing we can do, to accommodate today’s population density in the here & now & maybe for tomorrow. Absolutely brilliant idea. Go for it. Proliferate, please proliferate.
I kept thinking Peach Trees from the movie Dredd
… just 3x more expensive. Idiot or DISINGENUOUS. My opinion.
Are there any cost considerations?
Something that can change the course of human self destruction and that can be done today.
i think after ww3 maybe this ll be happen
This is amazing
Very progressive thinker.
the thing is that he is only doing what a fabelas, or informal housing, have been doing for almost a decade, I can see a lot af problems like a desconection between the public espace of the city and his project, like makind an island. and that is not a solution
SINGAPOREEEEE
there’s buildings like this in Jerusalem
How could those buildings possibly be middle income housing. Plop one down in a Australia and the realtors will make it luxury housing.
I think a lot f the problem lies in building with straight lines and ninety degree angles and blocky structures. There was an experiment where test subject were asked questions that would test their logical thinking and the participants would draw straight lines or curvy lines wen drawing straight lines, the participants were less creative, less spontaneous, and thought more objectively about the questions. The people sketching curvy lines were more creative, thinking outside the box, giving answers that were very abstract. They concluded that it was more creatively stimulating to draw rounded shapes than straight lines.
To make designing buildings more creative and solve problems of living more forward thinking, buildings should be designed with curves, blended components, and irregular shapes; not cubes, lines, and flat planes.
They really need to let these speakers talk for a time more appropriate to what they have to say.
Looks like something someone would make in MineCraft.
I’d love a building like this is Melbourne. Is there a purpose for the white design? Instead of a natural wood finish.
