Habitat 67
I treat this as a sculpture you walk to. Safdie designed it at 23 for Expo 67, and it remains a radical idea about how people could live. You can't go inside (it's private homes), but you view it from the riverside path — and that's enough.
Moshe Safdie's 1967 stacked-cube housing experiment — one of the most important works of modern architecture, viewed from outside.
