I had a hard time choosing a photo for this week – the last week that Sandra Conner will be hosting her “Thursday’s Windows” series. It should be something special…but what do I have that’s different and good enough? Finally I settled on this picture –
Apartment windows in Habitat 67 in Montreal – a complex made by stacking together identical concrete modules, with each individual unit made by connecting a varying number of modules. I first saw Habitat when it was one of the futuristic highlights of world’s fair Expo 67 – unlike the other fair buildings, most of which are long gone, it seems to have held up very well over the past 45 years!
Sandra, thank you for coming up with this challenge! It’s been an interesting project to participate in. I hope your life calms down a bit and that you have a blessed and happy year ahead of you.
A Number of Things 
I know its irrational but I don’t think I’d like to live in one of those sticky out bits!
Good point – but I wonder if you’d realize your home was a sticky out one?
What an amazing concept!
It’s very creative, though it wasn’t copied the way the architects hoped it would be – it turned out to be too expensive.
shame, maybe it could be now with newer methods of construction
Not my sort of building but interesting. I remember seeing pictures of this when it was first built.
I wouldn’t call it beautiful, but it’s memorable! And very typical cutting-edge architecture for the time, I think.
It was–and cutting-edge on places outside, too. 🙂
😀 😀
I like your choice.
Thank you!
I love this building. I would totally live in it! Great picture too, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! There’s something about the jumble of – well, concrete boxes – that teases you into trying to (mentally) organize them, isn’t there?
what an interesting building..I may have to ponder whether I like it or not
Personally, I’d class it as “not really beautiful, but fascinating” 😀
