1 Lucia Forintová

2  Habitat 67 was an experiment in apartment living.  This huge living complex was built in 1967 for Expo 67.  It looks like an exciting piece of Cubist sculpture.  Some people think, that gray exterior looks as if nobody lived there.

3  Habitat 67 is located on the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  It is far from the rest of Montreal's business and neighborhoods, so is private, peaceful and quiet.

4 Habitat 67 was designed by Canadian architect Moshe Safdie. He wanted to make better and cheaper housing for the masses, the 3-D city in the sky with 1000 housing units, shops and school.

5 Now, there are only apartments, without shops and a school. Small city, instead became a hugely expensive apartment building

6  There are 158 apartments formed from 354 standard cube modules combined in a variety of interesting ways.  Inside the complex are plastic streets, connecting the apartments with the elevators and parking lots.  Each one apartment has at least one garden terrace on the rooftop of a unit below.

7  There are 16 different types of "houses".  Variations from one-bedroom houses to four-bedroom houses.  Building is owned by tenants.
