Moshe Safdie

Moshe Safdie was born in the town of Haifa in the British Mandate of Palestine in 1938 and emigrated to Montreal, Canada. He apprenticed under Louis Kahn in Philadelphia. He is most famous for his ideas of cellular residences that could be lifted into place like lego blocks. This was actually constructed as the Habitat 67 project.

Important works include:

Habitat 67 at Montreal, Canada Expo '67 World's Fair
