This pavilion is considered to be the main representative of the Expo ’67 theme, “Man and His World,” which strove for an improved relationship between humans and urban spaces. Habitat ’67 was based on Moshe Safdie’s socialist inspired approaches to urban planning and architecture. The model offered a solution to the question about how to improve the conditions of a dense urban living space: each of the 158 residences, or “boxes,” were placed in a criss-crossed way, so that each unit’s terrace was the rooftop of the unit below. One cluster of units overlook the St. Lawrence River (see photo), while the largest cluster face out onto Avenue Pierre Dupuy.
