Contemporary aesthetics combined in one sculpture
Where the St. Lawrence River Montreal flows in a serpentine pattern, a residential complex marked by the architectural style of brutalism rises up on a small headland – the famous Habitat 67.
354 concrete blocks arranged in a stepped pattern adorn a part of Montreal’s multifaceted skyline, designed by architect Moshe Safdie for Expo 67.
Not far from this memorable silhouette grew up Philippe Malouin, who was inspired by these forms of brutalism throughout his life.
