    In this case from one of Earth’s most splendid of cities, Montreal.

    You may know it, but it’s called Habitat 67, and was an attempt at humanising the very idea of apartment-living. This article gives some of the background.

    And in case you want to know more about the context in which this amazing building is to be encountered, spend a happy two minutes watching this video that makes the city look like an idyllic toy metropolis.

    I find good (subjective – I know) Architecture to be very satisfying and inspirational in equal measure. I consider that Habitat 67 thingy to be good Architecture.

    I have a similar reaction to good Engineering 8)

    I like it, but it needs more waterfalls from the upper levels and more vegetation growing on the walls, then it would look epic.

    If you like Habitat, then take a peek at Paolo Soleri, particularly his arcologies.
