Habitat 67

I mentioned the dedicated bus service to Habitat 67 in the last post. Habitat 67 was constructed for Expo 67 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expo_67), the incredibly successful World's Fair held in Montreal in 1967. I am not sure Habitat was popular at first, it was isolated and needed a special bus service for the residents. It may also have been cold and wind swept in the winter. Habitat is idiosyncratic in design but no one lives there who doesn't appreciate the architecture of the place, that is its special quality; it is a design for the future: high density living but privacy for the residents. 

These photographs were taken in 2011 during a boat ride from the port in Old Montreal.
