Habitat 67 (Montréal)

Expo 67, one of the world’s largest universal expositions was held in Montreal. Within the movement of liberalization and opening to the world characterizing this period, the exposition was entitled “Man and his World” as the title of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s masterpeace. Housing was one of the main themes of Expo 67.

Saint-Exupéry wrote: “We have to make lively this new house that doesn’t have a face yet. The truth for one was to build; it is, for the other, to occupy it.”

Habitat 67 then became a thematic pavilion invaded by thousands of admiring visitors that came from all around the world, on top of being the temporary residence of many dignitaries passing by Montreal.

Hello Benoit. C'est d'une bonne combinaison de formes géométriques contrastées contre un fond bleu.... une image abstraite qui est agréable à voir. Michael.

C'est un point de vue intéressant et on voit bien l'esprit de l'architecte dans cette composition.
