Revisited: Habitat 67, Jonathan Tuckey Design, London
Photographer James Brittains large-scale colour photographs of Montreals Habitat 67 explore themes of architectural legacy and representation. The brainchild of Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie as the Canadian Pavilion for the World Exposition of 1967, Habitat 67 sought to a establish a new model for apartment construction through a modular box design. Accompanying Brittains work will be archival material from the Canadian Centre for Architecture and Canadian Architecture Collection at McGill University.
