Moshe Safdie's Habitat 67 appears as a growing structure, but like the capsule tower is suspended in time. A static form only evoking metabolist ideas of endless change.
I haven't seen any structural images. However I understand each room or appartment was its own individual concrete box. This made them very heavy as all 4 walls floor and ceiling had to be lifted at once. This was a major down fall for the project, and I believe the full design of the complex was not constructed. I would be interested to see structural images if you find any, Thanks for the question. -Will
Do you have any picture of the building structure?
