Habitat '67 - Moshe Safdie


Moshe Safdie is one of my best reference in Architecture. He has a good talents in design and ability to produce a pure result out of human psychology. i.e. history, place, feeling, and even emotion in almost all of his design.

One of his everbest design that i always like is Habitat '67. Although its not his latest design but this one still very much amazed me though.
In the past decade, his major cultural and educational commissions in the U.S. have included: the United States Institute of Peace Headquarters on the Mall in Washington, D.C.; the Skirball Museum and Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA; and Exploration Place in Wichita, KS; educational facilities such as Eleanor Roosevelt College at the University of California in San Diego; civic buildings such as the Springfield, MA, and Mobile, AL, Federal Courthouses; and performing arts centers such as the Kansas City, MO, Performing Arts Center.
In addition to major works of urbanism, Safdie's current work includes two airports - Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto and Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. Recent building openings include the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia (2006), The Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem (2005), the Lester B. Pearson International Airport (2004), the Ben Gurion International Airport (2004), the Salt Lake City Main Public Library (2003), and the Peabody Essex Museum (2003). more details here...
