[Moshe Sadfie] is one of Canada's most famous architects ... Expo '67 gave him the chance to see his McGill University thesis built as Habitat '67. It was a brilliant and socially sensitive design which aimed at providing a new model for high-density housing which combined privacy, economy and visual interest. Habitat '67 was a prototype relying on modular construction. Each module was an elongated cube built on site and hoisted into position with a crane. Depending on the number of modules used, a given apartment could range from a 600 sq. ft. (55 sq.m.) bachelor unit to a family-sized suite. 1, record 1, English, - high%2Ddensity%20housing

Moshe Safdie est l'un des architectes les plus célèbres du Canada [...] Expo 67 lui donna l'occasion de concrétiser la thèse qu'il avait écrite à McGill et qui devint Habitat 67. Ce prototype d'ensemble domiciliaire à haute densité est composé de modules rectangulaires qui furent construits sur place et disposés à l'aide de grues; il était conçu pour être économique, esthétique et privé. La superficie des appartements est fonction du nombre de modules utilisés : du studio (55 m²) à l'appartement familial. 3, record 1, French, - grand%20ensemble
